I Nearly Cried

I sat next to you.

It gave me the opportunity to think.

I can't focus too hard when i'm with you.

I was looking down

but from the corner of my eye

I saw your every movement.

I tried not to make it to obvious

That I was adoring them all.

It seemed as if

You were trying to ignore me.

And that's when I felt it.

Something that's been trapped

In my heart for ages

Tried to break out.

I felt tears sting my eyes.

I heaved only once before I realized

I couldn't cry in front of so many people.

No one knows what's going on.

I willed the tears away.

Told them that if they didn't leave immediately

then I would be forced to take care of them myself.

They left.

I wasn't okay.

But I knew I would have to pretend to be.

Everything is unrequited.
