You don't have to love me back, Just say I see you, and we will let that be that, You just have to know I am around, Just a nod of your head, nothing too profound.
You don't to commit or anything, Just know I listen to the words they sing. Please don't block or ignore, I am not a creep I won't as you to hold my hand, I won't ask you to leap.
You can live normally, free and true. It's my cross to bear that I am not for you. Please take care with my heart, it may not always beat your name. One day I could be gone, for once not to blame.
So all I ask is that you let me adore. I have conjured a fantasty life, we need not explore. I took a big step revealing my thoughts Distantly yours, crosses and noughts.
A poem about unrequited love where both parties know, I found the whole concept interesting to write about. I have been on both sides of the "love" I have let people have feelings for me and told them nothing would ever happen while if I have had feelings sometimes the same kindness wasn't returned
