For you

I turned to face you.

And you were already looking at me.

My breath hitched.

My vision blurred

To protect me

From the blinding radiance of your beauty

The glow of pale pink in your cheeks.

I smiled and turned away.

 

I hate what we are.

How we can't be more.

This is the worst its felt in a while.

With me falling hard

And you feeling sorry for me.

It's not the first time it's happened.

I shouldn't be this forlorn.

But the way I feel about you

Is something stronger than what I've felt before.

 

I'm sorry I'm not what you want.

All I want is to be good enough for you.

But I'm not.

I'm just...

I'm so sorry.
