To All The Boys Who Never Loved Me

So, this one is based off of "To The Boys Who Will One Day Date My Daughter" it was originally an English project, but I love it.

---------

To all the boys who will never love me...

I have longed for you.

Although we may have never really talked, or hung out,

I have fantasized about my life with you.

Day in, day out.

Sending glances over my shoulder, across the room.

Sending mental messages, proclaiming love.

Sending fleeting word from my lips, that you will never hear.

My brain sending messages to my heart to 'get real'.

Knowing that you love someone else, or that you don't like me at all.

Set back, knowing I will forever lust after you.

After the boy I could have loved forever.

Alas, high school is crazy.

First loves never last,

and we are all the worse for it.

The passion, and awkwardness.

The learning about who we are.

The wanting it to last forever.

Flashing by.

I cherish every shared word.

Every Inch of closeness.

Every accidental glance.

Speak to me.

Befriend me.

And maybe,

Eventually,

Even love me.

Falling the first time is the hardest.

Loving the first time is the deepest.

Losing the first time is the loneliest.

This it true.

I know it is.

But I may never experience it.

So I continue to fantasize.

So I continue to write and say things that will never see the light of day.

So I continue to long for what I will never have.

Crushing my heart.

Everyday is the same.

I will never tell you, or make you act.

Because, I am told, that the lusting is better than the actual loving.

Be who you are, not what others want from you.
