When you ask her to go out with you on a date,
Just know that you're not the first or the last.
If you send her a message on her phone in the middle of the night,
Just know that she might be talking to a guy from her past.

When you offer to fly her down to see you,
Just know that she must have done it for somebody else.
When she looks at you and smiles away,
Just know that in her life, this might just be a phase.

When you bring her flowers on your date,
Just know that she will enjoy it as long as you're in her sight.
When you open the car door for her,
Just know that  she will probably forget about it by the end of the night.

When you sit and wonder why she is so heartless,
Just know that she does not want to love, but only be loved.

As I lie down with my eyes so heavy, but still feel the need to write 
a poem that would express my feelings, the feelings I've been trying to fight

This is an ongoing affair which doesn't seem to have an ending
All I need to know is, where this is bending.

Lovely people inspire me yet pull me back down
What's the point of life if all I do is frown?

Never have I heard someone say you will go a long way
Only thing I get to hear is pick a line that will pay.

Why does it feel the need to make changes and without that I can't be alive?
Why does it feel so hard to fit in and find that one place where I can survive?
