I love her and she doesn’t know.
She doesn’t try to capture my heart or make me feel flustered when I speak to her
Or invade my thoughts every waking minute.
She simply does.
She’s extraordinary and perfectly normal at the same time.
She’s sunshine, happiness emanating from her perfect face.
Her smile lightens the mood; her laugh causes my heart to skip a beat.
She doesn’t try to make my life worth living.
She simply does.
The joy she shows the world every day hides a pain she never reveals.
But I can see it and beyond it and I know we will find joy together.
As others pass by I sit idly, waiting for her to take notice.
She doesn’t try to make me feel not alone in a world full of sadness.
She simply does.
And I await the day when she finally does try to make me love her,
Because I will be ready.
