At night, I lie awake counting the days to when I shall never see you again.
I fear that day may come too soon and it saddens me so.
All I can do is remember your face, engrave it within my heart,
Because I don't want to forget, I don't want to let go.
It has been a year since we first met.
I didn't know how you felt about me then, and I am still unsure.
Perhaps you just saw me as a friend, but I saw more.
I fell hard and now bruised and cannot find a cure.
I don't know what to do; I know I must move on.
But your presence I still feel, your voice I still hear.
Looking back, I thought you felt the same way I felt.
Everything was confusing and everything still is unclear.
I know you have someone else in your heart,
This is why I keep my distance, though somehow I still find myself close.
I cannot control my feelings, and for this I apologize.
This was not what I wanted to happen, it wasn't what I chose.
I will be leaving soon; I don't know how you feel about that,
But I hope you found a place for me somewhere in your heart.
Even if it's no more than friends, that is fine by me.
Just so you know, I loved you from the start.
