I stare from across the room,
longing stabbing at my heart

Blond hair, blue eyes,
long legs, small size,
everything I almost have

I'm around her constantly,
that only makes it worse,
she's the one thing I can never achieve,
one unattainable goal

I settle for friendship,
we want different things,
but being around her is great,
better than nothing at all,
at least

We stop being friends,
it hurts more than it should,
and I hate her, with all my heart
I promise, I do

But it's nearly 750 days 
why am I not over you?
