Unnoticed Love

I look at her smiling face, into her

bright eyes, and I see such beauty, that it

could not have been made for this realm.

The sad thing is, she doesn’t see me.

All she sees is him.

Am I jealous? No, I don’t care who

she falls for, as long as she’s happy.

If she chooses him, I know she did it for love,

but if she chooses me, it’s only because

I’m second best.

I don’t know if she even likes me,

I’ve never made my feelings known

to her, or when I have, she doesn’t

notice. Is it wrong for me to love someone

who is already in love?

If only she knew how much I love her,

maybe I would have a chance.

But how can I take her from someone

who loves her as much as I, if not more.

I cannot, it is wrong.

She came running to me, rivers

of tears flowing down her beautiful face.

He broke her heart, tore it apart and

casted her aside. She says she loves

me more, but I know this is a lie.

Why lie? Was it a lie to herself,

or me? Perhaps to us both, I’ll

never know. Her heart still belongs

to him, even though he is the

one who crushed it.

I will treasure her forever,

for I know I am not worthy of her

love and her loyalty. She loves me,

but nothing can replace the love

she lost.
