My name
Means light
And
So does hers
Does that mean
We’re a match?

Perhaps my silly feelings
Were all in disarray
‘Cause I say that I like you
Do my words hold true this way?

His eyes that shine like gold
And yours that shine so bright
I cast my hook to sea
And hope it’s you, I might.

“I’m still fine, aren’t I?”

I question reality every night
I pull out my hair in stress
I dig my nails into my arms
I don’t stop until I bleed

Is this really
Fine?

Does she like
A yearner?

Do girls like yearners?
Or a boy that loves dearly?
Or are bad boys preferred
Where their attitude shows clearly

I’m willing to change
But for now I am known
As the yearner lover boy
Harboring love yet to be shown.

I miss her
I yearn for her
I adore her
I cherish her
I long for her
I ache for her
I love her

And I envy him.
I envy him
For the little more love
She offers
Despite getting nothing
In return.
And I despise him
For not returning
This love
The love that I desire
From the girl I see
Every
Single
Day
