To the boy that the girl I love won’t stop talking about.
I am in love with your endearing strobe light flirtations objective.
I have unavoidedly been in love with her for far too long.
Labelling it as close friendship for far too long.
Saying I love you instead of I am in love with you for far too long.
To the boy that the girl I love has hurt and confused repeatedly.
I must apologise for an extent of her contridicting statements.
You see when you love someone you become extensively selfish.
Every second thought she had i built on, centering you as the friend.
When in reality i am the one framed under her heart in a platonic light.
To the boy that the girl I love told he could be enough.
I envy you with all the aggression that i can muster.
However, I have no right to be upset when you had the balls and I didn’t.
It doesn’t matter how much I love her I cannot win her over if i don’t speak up.
But why should i speak up when all she speaks to me about is you.
Maybe thats why i told her to tell you how she feels.
To the boy that the girl I love smiles at even when hes being mean.
If you don’t fucking relish in every moment you have with her I swear to god.
Because i did not give her up, i did not let her slip past my admiration.
I did not deconstruct every inch of my own happiness just to see hers blossom.
I did not make my garden around her only to spray it with weed poision.
I did not let you have her to see you waste her requited love.
To the boy that the girl I love loves.
I never wanted you to know that I love her but i can’t watch this.
I can’t watch you both stumble in the stage of i don’t know, when you both do.
Please love her with every kindling flame you have in your body.
Turn your apprhensions into leaps and amplify every ounce of your emotions.
I can appeal to my own pain, I can pretend that I don’t love her.
But she will never be able to get over you.
