I know that one person always loves more.
And I know that in this situation that person will always be me.
I know that I have slowly submerged myself into your presence and completely fallen for you.
I know that when I told you this, it intrigued you.
I know that you do not like me like I like you
but rather
it is more of a curiosity game with you
and of course
the affection I am providing is worth taking to you
It hurts to know that you are only intrigued and that you do not actually see me the way I see you, or like me the way I like you.
It hurts that you are talking to me for pure fun and something new.
But I will pretend to not be phased
and push ahead as if I am unbothered
because I consider myself lucky to have gotten your attention at all.
