I avert my eyes
When I catch you staring
Because you know I hurt

But what you don't know
I think about you with every passing hour
I stare at you when you're not looking

What you don't know
I would wait until my bones begin to rot
My heart lifts when you're in the room
You are my sunlight
When the moon is at it's highest

You don't know the simplest sentence
Which means more than the galaxy
I love you.

We've all been in this situation where you love someone, but they don't love you back. Ah, love.
