Unrequited Love?

What if you love me?

 

What if you want more than this?

A fake relationship.

I love what we have now,

But I can't help but crave more.

I sort of wish we dated again as before.

 

What if you push me away?

I'd love nothing more than to stay.

Stay with you,

For all my life

But what if my hearts is stabbed yet again by your metaphoric knife?

 

What if you care more deeply than I?

This should be as easy as pie.

When I tell you how I feel,

And you say the same in return,

And no longer will I have to yearn.

 

What if that's not the case?

A love unrequited because I was just a pretty face.

Not something more,

Just a body

That you like so fondly.

 

What if you love me

Like I love you.

And we're just both too afraid,

To admit the truth?
