Why do we always want what we can't have Why is greed an essential part of the human mind I can't help but always seem to want what's not mine to have I try my hardest to resist because it is in my reach I've been spending countless hours debating but always come up with the same answer - Leave it alone. "but what if it's meant to be" For all I know I could be missing out on the one person who can make me the happiest Instead I settle for our friendship It pains me to stay away But I know it would hurt even more if I didn't
