One-sided love or a failed story?
Will I be happier if my story stays one-sided or if he briefly plays along out of sympathy?
Can I tell you
how beautiful you look
when u smile?
Can you see yourself
through my eyes?
Can I confess
You make me alive?
Can I tell you
You give meaning to my life?
But Don't you worry
It's love, not a deal
I can do it alone
On my own.
Don't you think
I want you to feel the same!
Actually its better if you don't
play the sympathy game.
What's better?
One-sided love or a failed story?
what is worth: longing for you or seeking forever a past glory?
Some stories are incomplete but still hold their grace,
Beautifully incomplete, with a timeless embrace.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
