Tears dripping across my cheeks
When I recall that way I felt
Knowing you wanted her all along
The kindness
Sweet words
Smiles
All misinterpreted
Silly, naïve me
Heartbroken, lamenting
No one to relate to
For others are lucky
Some in life don't get the romance
The hugs, soft touches, warm kisses
Sweet words, love letters
All they get
All I get
Is pain
Embarrassment
The crushing blow of rejection
Never did I know a pain more persistent
Tears continue to fall
Soon they'll stop
But that pain will return soon again
