From Our Readers: I Watched You Fall For Her

I watched you fall for her.
It was fine because I knew you'd be happier.
But she broke your heart rather
And now here I am, collecting pieces of you to gather.

There's this new girl you've been talking about non-stop.
This time, it made my heart snap.
When will you start to realize
That I'm always here for you, loving you in disguise.

It ended so soon between the two of you.
Yet here I am, ready to mend those broken pieces if you only knew.
I'm still waiting for the day that you'll love me, too.
But instead, I let you wonder without a single clue.

Finally, I made up my mind to end this feelings I have once and for all.
But I still get butterflies in my stomach whenever you call,
Most especially whenever I suddenly pass by you in the hall.

I wish I could have the chance to say the things that I wanted.
But I'm scared of the thought that maybe you'll take it for granted.
And by that, I just accepted that maybe our worlds aren't meant to be ignited.
