I can't help but think this is all a ruse made up by the strange clockwork of an insane mind.

Me? Like you? Impossible.

Because it's not meant to be you see. Because boys like you don't like girls like me, i see. Because we're just too different. Two hearts so offbeat that nothing could ever happen, not because we wouldn't want it to - Though I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want it to - but because we wouldn't be able to agree on something.

Because I can't help but share my liberal ideas while you can't wait to tear them down. Because that's too unrealistic. Because that's not how the world works. Because there's a reason why things are what they are. Because everyone always thinks "what's in it for me?"

Maybe I don't really like you. Not that way at least. Just faking it to feel again. Because I've been numb for some time once again. Because I wanna love somebody. Feel love rushing through my body. But more importantly, I wanna be loved. I want soft kisses and tight embraces. I want little adventures in secret places. I want to be able to look into some one's eyes and feel like they're the one I wanna hold to till the day I die. I wanna share my world with someone and have them do the same. Help each other out through life's crazy game.

Or maybe, just maybe, i do like you- and yes, in that way. Maybe I don't want to admit it, at least not today. But I saw you walking next to her with a smile. And it got me thinking, maybe I'm just not worth your while. Or anyone's for that matter. I can feel it all coming just before I shatter. What did I do wrong? is it because I couldn't fit in and just follow along?

You know what? I'm just so sick of this. Because although I want it, i don't need someone to kiss. Of course I want someone to love, but when push comes to shove, I don't need to be completed. I'll stand tall and I won't be defeated.
