You used to care when it was convenient,
Now you don't care at all.
It took me too long to realize,
You were my rise and fall.
We went from friends to lovers, and lovers to friends, then friends to history. You always cared, then rarely, and now never.
And if I were you,
I would never trust my words.
I have lied to so many by
telling them I love them,
and it is never followed by
aching guilt.

These lines are the only
form of honesty I have left,
and I'm not sure I want
this part of me to change.

So when I'm standing in
the doorway,
and I tell you
I love you,
I hope you won't make
too much of it.
I promise I won't when
you whisper,
"I love you, too."

In moments you used to look at me,
You now look away.
And in times when my mind used to be free of you,
You're now here to stay.

Your favorite french songs are a lot like you.
The language you speak is foreign to me,
yet I can't help but think I understand.
Speak in french more often, it's hot

The irony of deafening silence in school hallways;
We sit parrellel, only staring at our shoes.
I hope to exchange some words, maybe finally tell you how i miss you.
I know that you are chasing other things, so I push the thought away.
Yet no matter how much I try to be okay by myself,
everytime you extend your hand to help me up, I know I'll take it
With our legs extended our feet almost touch
love is not a switch
you can turn on and off—
you either always feel it,
or it was never there at all.

Making up daydreams
Just so you dont have to think of
The reality you live,

And covering your eyes each day
When he passes
With
Her.

Sometimes holding off on accepting it hurts more then the
unrequited love.
Yet still I look away and daydream happy thoughts
