Unrequited

Almost makes me want to cry
Who am I kidding?
I do want to cry
But for some reason the tears won't come
The ache inside is there
Laughing at me
Because it won't let me go

On one hand
All that matters is his happiness
Because I care about him so much

On the other hand
Why can't it be me
Who makes him happy?

Sure, there are no wedding bells
Sure, there's only been one date
With me there have been more
But only in the friendship sense
Even though there have been more-than-friendship-touches

I wish, I wish, I wish...
But wishing won't make it come true.

All I can do is wait and hope and live my life in the meantime
And try to remember
That if it is meant to be it will be
And try to believe it

Even though it sounds so trite and hollow
