Holding back sorry

Posted bySecret BreePosted inWordsTags:, ,

I’m sorry

I know that you have loved me for years
Trying to hide it in the shadows
I saw it anyway
I wish that I could love you the way you want me to
For the way you treat me makes me feel so safe
But, this rebellious heart won’t co-operate with my rational mind
I have even imagined what our life would look like together
I know it would be a sweet story
Apparently my heart doesn’t care for sweet

I’m so sorry

Unrequited love is the hardest
I wish I could take it away
For I deeply care about you
I see the longing in your eyes
It makes me wish I could return the same
But, I can’t fabricate what’s not there
So I will hold all of these thoughts back from you
I know it will only hurt you or give you false hope
Instead I will bury them and pretend not to notice all you feel for me

I am sorry.

Inspired by those on the other side of the ‘friend zone’

  5. So painful to read. But so well expressed. Imagined or real? Love reading your thoughts. Always so happy you are posting again. Always miss it when you don’t. :))

      1. Aw… I love so much when you get real. Truly I do. That must have been so hard for him… and you were very ethical and thoughtful in the way you dealt with it. You’re truly lovely. 💛
