He looks at you with that familiar smile you've know most of your life

You smile back with much needed force, wishing he doesn't see the pain beneath your eyes

He calls you just to say "Hi"

You laugh and say "Hi" back, wishing he doesn't hear the fake joy behind your voice

He talks to you about the one he really loves

You give him advise like any friend would, wishing it were you instead

He gets the girl he's been dreaming of for years

You lose a best friend, knowing you never had any real chance, but wishing he chose you instead

He forgets about you for weeks at a time

You feel the weight of pain and betrayal heavy in your heart, and have to let him go, knowing its best for him but wishing it wasn't.

He is happy

So...

You are happy

Only your not.
