I hope to listen to your voice through your eyes
lips can tell lies and ears believe them
but eyes never fail to tell me what your heart's saying
the pupils of your eyes widen as you see me
I bet you can hear my heartbeat just as fast
I know you've got those eyes on someone else
that someone else is lying beside me right now
I'm pretending to be asleep
even though I want to be in your arms
I have known you for days and her for decades
she's seen me cry when my favourite character dies
she knows what my favourite ice cream flavour is
and you don't even know my last name
she and I are not related by blood
but she is my sister and you're a stranger
you're everything I want but you're hers now
she's my family and you're a fantasy
I can't tell her that I prefer staring into your eyes
than listening to you tell her lies
because your lips lie but your eyes tell me the truth
maybe she can't read them, she trusts you
when you tell her she's the only one
perhaps it's the truth, maybe it's my fault
for falling for my friend's love.

Epiphany
Sometimes feelings hit one unexpectedly, leaving us torn between reality and our fantasies.
The pain of desiring something out of your reach is unexplainable. Doing the right thing by letting go or choosing happiness by breaking hearts are tough choices, but sometimes we love our friends enough to choose their happiness over our own.
