Maybe one day

[I don't write mushy poems about happy love, because it is the pain that inspires me]



Maybe if I stand close enough I’ll smell your cologne
Maybe if I hug you your hands will touch my skin
Maybe if I look away you won’t see my tears
Maybe if I put on a smile you won’t see the pain
Maybe if I laugh and pull a joke you’ll think I’m fine
Maybe if I delete your number
You’ll wonder where I went

Maybe if I told you I hate you
You'd finally see
That I hate you so much
Because I love you

Ouch.

I've been through a lot of shit in my life, but unrequited love is up there as one of the most painful things I've been through if not on top of the list.

I feel your pain; I like that last verse - it really brings back some buried memories.

But hey - life is what it is. Keep your chin up and don't let that bullshit get you down.
