something to you

overlooked

I look at you and it is as if the rest of the world had disappeared.

As if the weight on my shoulders has been lifted, and the pressure on my chest has left

And suddenly a rush of breath enters my lungs.

When I am near you I get so nervous I forget how to speak.

Not a single word comes out.

The only words that manage to leave my mouth are

"I love you"

I couldn't fathom why

'oh god did I just say that'

Calm down before he realizes my heart is beating fast and I can't catch my breath.

'maybe he didn't hear me, PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN'T HEAR ME'

"I love you too"

And suddenly my heart stops.

The movie frozen in place

and my hearing is echoed out

'he...loves me?'

"in fact I love you so much"

"do you really?"

"of course I do, you're my bestfriend"

"oh...of course"

How could a person like me think anything other than that.

How can a person like me think that I have a chance with a person like you.

But it's fine, keep laying there next to me holding my hand.

Keep giving me false hopes that'll never come true.

But that's fine if you do. Because I look forward to those moments

even if you love me just as a friend
