"This one is for those whose hearts break when they hear, 'unrequited,'
because they know the power that word has.
This one is for those who would spill out their guts for the people they don't have
but can't stop hoping for.
This one is for those who waste all their money on cheap liquor
just to try to forget what those hands felt like around them.
This one is for those who know that the alcohol never works.
This one is for those who wake up to tearstained pillows and wish
they did not know why the salty water spills from their eyes.
This one is for those who are starving
for something much more than food.
This one is for those who know why
a kiss can kill a person.
This one is for those who have told the story of "us" and done edits and rewrites constantly
but have only ever told the story in their heads at night.
This one is for those whose biggest secret
is that that one person's frown means more to them than a thousand smiles.
This one is for those who have contemplated seeing a doctor
because this has to qualify as a disease.
This one is for those who have not actually seen that doctor
because they already know they can't get the cure.
This one is for those who know how good it would be
but have to settle for only knowledge.
This one is for those who keep coming back to this
and hating themselves for it.
This one is for the hopeless romantics
who have no romance from those they crave.
This one is for you.
This one is for me, too."
