Richie (hopeless but unable give up)

I liked you, but you didn't like me.
Most people said it would never be.

To you a letter I sent.
Saying to me what you had really meant.

I put lots of feeling into every word.
You must have thought I was absurd.

You turned me down like it didn't matter.
I felt crushed, my heart shattered.

I told my self to just forget.
Forget any time we had met.

Erasing every memory my mind had stored.
So I wouldn't have to cry anymore.

I did forget, I forgot for a while.
Then I saw you and your beautiful smile.

I was happy, you made my heart soar.
Then I longed for you, as I did before.

You wouldnt talk to me, not a sound.
You would act like I wasn't around.

I really tried to get you to see,
what a great couple we could be.

My efforts were wasted, just no good.
I should have given up, I wished I could.

Give up I would, again and again.
Then my life, you'd appear in.

It's not like I try to think about you.
But all day long thats all i do.

I cant distract my own mind some self control i try to find.
I lay awake, trying to sleep, thinking of you and counting sheep.

People sometimes would ask me why I'm so sad.
I just say its nothing really too bad.

But really inside im greifed with sorrow.
Only to feel the same way tomorrow.

For only you have i felt this way.
Wondering why, day after day.

I will say it once more, and i cant stress it enough.
I really like you, so why is this so tough?
