May 2013
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.
