Knowing.

Knowing you will never love me

Knowing you won't think of me like I would you; when I pass

Knowing that I don't deserve you as much as I would like to

To know you barely save me a glance

Knowing that you love her

Knowing that you love her, as much as I love you

I know in passing that I will love you still.

I will love you still, in death as I do life

And I will love you even when my life ends, when she calls your name

And you answer her

With that look in your eyes

And the way you answer her, syrup dripping from your throat

I know you will never love me

And I could never wish for you to

Because your hers

Never mine.
