can't have you

In every face that passes by,
In every glance, in every try,
On every date, in every view,
I search for one thing: you.

Even in the smallest way,
In people who don’t matter much,
It’s always you I seek,
And it tears me up inside.

Though I cannot have you,
My heart and mind keep reaching out,
It’s not fair that you live on,
Unaware of my existence.

Every effort to move on
Seems lost, though we were never more
Than friends who never crossed the line.
Still, I don’t regret a thing.
