Still Care

Every day

I tell myself

That I no longer

Care about the way

You stare at her

 

I say

It does not matter

Because I do not care

About you

Or about the fact

You want her

The way

I want you

 

I have convinced myself

I do not care

About your gorgeous smile,

Or your kind eyes,

The little dimples by your mouth,

Or your lovely laugh.

 

However

That is not true

For I am only

Decieving myself

Into believing

Those things

 

Because in fact

I do

Still care

About you,

And your twinkling eyes,

And your mesmerizing laugh,

And your captivating smile.

 

And yes,

I do

Still care

About the way

You look at her

Because I know

That she

Is everything

I cannot be
