Just look at me already
Like the way I see you.
I've been waiting for so long.
So many days have gone by;
Not a single one of them passed
Without you in my mind.
The thoughts that I have about you,
Seemingly so platonic,
Astound me as they recur.
I keep replaying our conversations,
The what, the why and the when,
I give importance to them all.
For I've never had such talks before,
Such long, meaningful talks,
It's all I've ever wanted.
It's overwhelming for me.
It's not the videos
Nor anyone's status
That keeps me glued to this.
It's you.
Only you.
I don't know what this is.
It's better if I don't label it
And ruin its charm.
It's best if it keeps going
Like the way it does.
Without speaking the words
That might make us fall apart,
Yet with the certainty
That there's something between us.
I feel the energy
And I know you do, too
Even though you'll never say it.
Just say it.
Admit it.
I don't want to be your significant other.
For you've already chosen her.
But can you deny
The fondness and gratitude
That you feel for me?
I'm fine with that.
I feel the same way towards you
And unfortunately much more.
If only fate was kinder.
But I'm glad it's not.
I believe it's for the best.
The biological and cultural barriers
Prohibit me from speaking the rest.
But your response towards me
Or lack thereof
Never makes me angry with you.
You are just the way you are
And that is the best thing about you.
These tedious days that pass by,
Nothing can keep me going,
Apart from you.
Only you.
Forever.

To be honest, it's difficult to write such poems. Because it feels like words can never be enough. Whether it's from my own experience or through inspiration from a piece of fiction, words just cannot describe the overwhelming feelings that I want to express. I believe it's the same for everyone. It always feels like, "no, this is not enough. Something more was there between the two characters."
But anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
