I love the way

That I can't escape the pain

How it hangs 'round my heart

Like the letters in your name

Oh, the days don't get easier

The gaps just get bigger

Until

Oh, the days don't get easier

The gaps just get bigger

Until I can almost bear

Thinking of you

I had my mind on her on my own

But when I looked back up

Everybody else was gone

So I resolve to make new friends

Someone tell me to quit my head

And help me forget it

Yeah

What's the worst that could happen

The end summer and I'm still in love with her

I said

Forget it

I want to get over it

I don’t want to get over it

I want to look into your green eyes and lose myself

I want my heart to explode

I want to feel it all

And I want to feel none of it

You’ll never want me

But I’m terrified I’ll never stop wanting you

I want to stop wanting you

I want the pain to evaporate

I don’t want to stop wanting you

One day, I will stop falling in love with you

Some day, someone will like me like I like you

Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie

Pretend that we are more than friends

Then, of course, I'll let you break my heart again

You'd be good to me

I'd be man enough

In a softer life

I’m still in love with her

She and I talk for hours on the phone

I hope everyday that something will switch

That she’ll notice the things I’m doing

And start to feel the stirrings of romance towards me

She is always commenting and viewing my posts

We text at 11 pm

I sometimes wish I knew what she was thinking

But mostly don’t want to know

In case it was nothing about me

Or worse

It’s the same as it was

An amazing friend and nothing at all more

And we’ll be gay but not together

You are a breath of fresh air

A cool breeze in the sweltering greenhouse of my life

A beautiful vision, your gentle smile

Your face framed by your long red and brown hair

You look so soft

I want to pull you in by your sweatshirt and hold you close to me

You’re the source of my deepest longings and desires

And the cause of the pain that wracks my tired heart

Maybe this poem is too dramatic

But I feel dramatic about you

I don’t know how I’m going to get over you

Every conversation I have with you leaves me wanting more

You’re brilliant- I love to hear your opinion on everything

I want to hear your opinions on the whole world

And all the things in it, great and terrible

Why’d you have to break my heart?

I would’ve retrieved the moon for you if you wanted it
