Greatest Fear

Watching him love someone else,
Is the hardest thing I know.
It hurts me badly inside,
But i don't let it show.

Don't want to be look at,
As some obsessed freak,
but the tears keep coming,
like a faucet with a leak.

Memories are flowing by,
like a running water stream.
I know this shouldn't be happening,
if only it was a dream.

I wish I could be that girl,
getting held closely by.
Maybe for once he'll love me,
and not have it be a lie.

But nobody really knows,
the feelings I have inside.
Their hidden deep within,
But I can't let them hide.

I want to shout them out,
Tell him right away that
I'll love him always and forever,
if he could only say.

Those same words back to me,
the ones I long to hear,
Those simple words I love you,
whispered in my ear.

He told me he couldn't love me,
and gave me a kiss so meek.
As a silent, saddening tear,
came rolling down my cheek.

He turned and walked away,
as I wiped away my tear.
We would never be together,
and this was my greatest fear.
