Oblivious

by Katherine   Aug 26, 2012


It's kinda long, sorry. Here goes.

He's oblivious,
He hugs me as a friend,
Nothing more,
He tells me about his girlfriends,
And asks me for advice about them,
I somehow put on a fake smile,
Cry invisible tears,
And answer,
I wonder if he can see through my smile,
See the pain masked by my eyes,
I want him to,
But I'm afraid he doesn't,
He's seen me in everything,
From a dress to baggy shorts,
Even a bathing suit,
My eyes all red from chlorine,
My biggest fear is I'll go through life and never tell him,
What if he likes me too,
I just can't bring myself to do it,
I'm not afraid to tell him,
I'm afraid of what will happen after I say it,
There's no way he knows I cry at night,
How my smile's not just one of happiness,
I've known him forever,
But now I hardly see him,
Only on the weekends,
In the summer,
I've tried to just not think about him,
But I miserably failed,
Everything reminds me of him,
I can't escape the thoughts,
I'm not sure if I would want to,
I love to fall asleep,
Because I see him in my dreams,
We can spend hours talking,
He has amazing eyes,
A beautiful brown,
He's weird,
Not unlike myself,
He makes me feel beautiful every time he looks at me,
He's the one guy I don't worry about impressing,
Because even if I make a fool of myself,
We both just laugh it off,
And I can tell he's laughing with me,
Not at me,
I'm surprised he can't tell I like him,
Every time I see him I light up,
When he's gone,
My eyes water,
But I don't let anyone see me cry,
I don't want to lie and tell them I'm fine when I'm really not,
Sometimes I wish he knew how I felt,
But he doesn't,
Because I won't tell him,
And he's oblivious.

    Aw, Katherine! I think you should tell him next summer. (Will you see him much before then?) But I will look up the song! Keep writing!

      There's no way I'm ever gonna tell him. And I probably won't see him much until then

    I wrote this for a guy that I've had a crush on since sixth grade. Have any of you ever liked someone so much for so long that it hurts you to be away from them, but it hurts even more to be with them because you know you don't have even the slightest chance with them. The first half of the rascal flatts song pieces explains how I feel perfectly. Actually, I can relate to almost all of their songs. You should look them up.
