For some odd reason,
I have an empty feeling inside of me.
It's not necessarily empty though.
The feeling that I have is more
like a large cannon ball hitting at my heart.
The cannon keeps firing away,
hitting my heart over and over
again until I can't handle the hits any longer.
You're standing on the side lines
continuing on with your day.
While over here, I'm falling
deeper in a hole I cannot escape from.
Each day I see you, you're oblivious
to every emotion I have towards you.
I wondered why I couldn't feel
my heart racing when I was around you.
Today I learned why:
I was never alone with you.
There was always someone else
by my side or by your side.
In all honesty, one year has changed
so much that it hurts to remember
what the past used to be like.
People came in and out of my life.
You were one that came in,
the one from class who I ignored.
I didn't think you would be important,
so I never talked to you,
never acknowledged your presence.
Although you meant nothing to me last year,
please know that you are one of the most
important people I know to this day.
You could say I care so much that it's love,
but it isn't.
When you're not looking,
I see you standing there
and you never knew I existed,
yet I cared so much to the point
I didn't even know why.
