One Sided Love

charicebcampos

Two years. Two years of secret smiles and stolen glances, only to see her , that familiar, sickening twist in my gut. Everyone sees it, he likes her. And it's not me. The pain is a dull, heavy weight in my chest.

He knows I exist, but it's different for him. I feel the distance, the cold space between us.

I held onto hope, a fragile, desperate thing. I replayed our imaginary future endlessly, a cruel, beautiful fantasy.

Then the truth crashed down, a wave of despair, it's never going to be us. The crushing weight of that reality is almost unbearable.

    The understanding that their love will not be returned, the pain they feel realising there dreams are just fantasy's, nicely expressed
