As you flipped through pages,
you realized you are in love with him.
Although you know for a fact that he is someone unreal.
You are in love with someone whom you can't reach.
Not even in the highest place you can fly to.
He's just in a book you're crazy with.
Clearly, he's just formed through the imagination of his author. His creator.
It's funny how he makes you laugh through his simple yet very sweet lines.
Even though those lines aren't really for you.
It's funny how he's been running inside your mind throughout the day.
It's funny how he makes you laugh with his corny jokes.
It's funny how he makes your heart beat faster than the usual just through his simple actions written in the story you're reading.
It's funny. Yes. But when realizations hit you, it'll hurt.
It hurts that he's someone unreal. Someone that isn't true.
It hurts realizing that you two are in different worlds.
You're in the real world while he's in the world of fiction.
You'll stick with reality and he'll stay in the fiction world.
Crazy how you let yourself fall deeply for someone you know you can't have.
Maybe because, for once, you wanted to be happy.
You've been wanting to escape all the darkness that this messed up world gives you.
You want someone who can make you happy. And he can.
Because he's perfect. He's better than all the boys you've been with.
Yes, he's perfect. Yes, he's so much better.
But that's because he's been created that way.
His author created him that way.
Perfect. Easy to love.
And because you're tired of reality,
You want to have someone who'll help you escape it.
And that's him. He helped you escape reality by letting you cling to him, letting you explore his world.
For once, you did.
But that stops there.
You have to go back. You have to live in the world where you should've stayed.
You have to forget that through the escaping process, you loved him.
You have to forget it. Coz if you don't,
You'll drown.
You have to forget your forbidden and unrequited love for him.
You have to keep in mind that you are in different worlds and that there's nothing you can do to change it.
Yes, it hurts. But that's the only thing you can do. To forget and continue your life normally.
Love someone you can have.
Love someone who's in the same world as yours.
Because what's worst is falling for someone in the opposite world.
Try not to do it again.
