Pieces

Crush

As I spiralled down into the darkness, all I kept thinking about was you. You were the only thought in my head, my fantasies, my life.

I opened my eyes, only to crash into reality. Looking from afar with glossy eyes, you stared at her with amazement in your eyes. I was just nothing but someone you texted. A hidden secret. You never dared to reply to my text in front of your friends. Only in the comfort of your home, where I stay hidden behind the phone.

I longed for you from afar, imagining how we would be, happily in each other's arms as we sing our favorite tunes. You wrapping your arms around me as I welcome the comfort.

But this was just a crush. A crush to the mind and soul. I felt like a crumpled piece of paper, hidden in your palms, used only when you needed the attention...

As I took my leave, you didn't look back while I, held a lingering look hoping you would turn and look at me with those eyes. I took a step forward and another. I was sprinting as this point, sprinting from the burns you had given me.

I regretted everything.
