Limerence.

i remember that night vividly

you said
love is hard when it's not requited
(i blinked)

you said
it hurts
looking at her from afar
and that you're tired
of watching from the sidelines
(i kept mum)

you said
it breaks your heart every time
when you see her
staring at him
her eyes
full of desire, love, & passion
while here you are
begging God
for her to spare you a glance
even just one
(my throat tightened
and i almost choked on the words
i wanted to say) 

you said
you were thankful
and lucky to have me,
as your best friend

i remember how i faked a smile.

and then you asked, 
"why do we fall in love with people we can't have?"
(i sighed and looked away)

"how do you handle this?" 

"i'll show you how."
