Found me

Why does it happen

Why did it happen to me

I was never searching for it

but this unrequited love found me

Why does it happen

Why did it happen to me

I see bloodstains on the white canvas that is my heart

this unrequited love has killed me

Why does it happen

Why did it happen to me

The one thing called love that never happened to us 

but this unrequited love stumbled upon me

Why does it happen

Why did it happen to me

I used to believe love is cynical

but this unrequited love found the unaware me

Why does it happen

Why did it happen to me

The thought of saying it aloud

makes me realize how everything can fall apart so quickly until it does

but this unrequited love can't be caged inside me
