Feelings like these
Don't come easily for me
It's very rare that I ever have them
And every time they come around
I get hurt

So this time
I will just sit with it
Let myself admire and adore from afar

I will love you until I no longer can
Oh sweet unrequited love
The thing is
No matter how desperately I want to be the one to change your mind

It doesn't change the fact
That you know you could have me
And you do nothing at all
I miss you, a lot.
All of the time actually.

Your goofy smile.
The way your cheeks turned red when I caught you singing.
Hearing you call me intelligent before anything else.
How your big, strong body didn't scare me,
I only ever felt safe around you.

I never realized how much I liked you until you left.  
It hits me every time I want to tell I miss you but I don't know if your girlfriend would see.
It's very rare I find myself liking someone,
So I don't have a lot of practice turning off these kind of feelings you left me with.

It's been awhile since we talked and I wonder if this friendship meant anything to you
I know things between us got complicated
And it's probably for the better that we keep our distance

But if you're ever wondering
I miss you, a lot.
And I won't call you,
But if you ever miss me,
I won't hesitate to pick up.
Hold me a little tighter
Love me a little longer
Maybe then this sinking feeling in my chest
Won't drown the possibility that you still love me

Kiss me a little sweeter
Want me a little more
Maybe then I could stay afloat
In this sea of doubt
Maybe if I close my eyes long enough
I'll wake up and be someone else

Maybe if I sleep forever
My past mistakes will be history and I'll get to be who I really want to be
You were my
"All or nothing"
Love

I gave you my all
And you left me with nothing
I couldn't find a man
Man enough to love me
So instead I became
The man I wanted to marry
