A sight to behold,
You are
When I look at you
I see you but do you...
See me?
or are you just looking with your eyes perusing? seeing through?

Do you really see me?
The day I first saw you I thought ,'wow! that's one handsome fellow'
but you didn't see me
even when I said hello
It was just any hello to you.
for me it was a world shattering event.

My world became brighter that day
or atleast that's how I felt.
but then I texted hello
with all hopes and courage I could muster
silence, that's what I got for a reply
and with that my world become dimmer

I didn't give up though
tried and again
and it diminished that light
I walked into a restaurant
smiling you were right in front of me
and less dim it was
but it wasn't my smile

I have reconciled with the lack of love
I don't want to lose a friend though but
It's going to be painful for sure
but I will live and love through the pain
even unrequited LOVE is love none the less
