And as she sleeps alone at night,
all of her dreams
shall come to light.
Much mirth and warmth,
an faultless love.
Mornin' sun awakens
her slumber.
And yet this situation still has hope and is preferable to this:
After the many years of furtive smiles and effortless, meandering conversation.
Oblivious, as he always has been
to the way I wore my hair
and the late-night messages on Facebook.
Oblivious, because despite our friendship he never saw me—
he has her. He no longer needs a friend.
If a prayer can put a notion into a man's head, it may be that this can be turned around.
There's nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Brown said that and he was right.
Don't know whether to say thank you or F**k you too James !
ReplyDeleteMaybe a bit of both, Nunyaa. :)
ReplyDeleteBunny - yes the pall of unrequited peanut butter.
Nothing is going quite right for our young friend at the moment. But she has hope because she is young.
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there, where one thinks its friendship and the other wants it to be more.
Now I hope you are not being mean to Nunyaa!!!
ReplyDeleteUnrequited love can be quite fulfilling, in some ways, far less stressful than requited love.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from a personal point of view. Have it as a friendship and don't ask for more. That's the answer.
Crushed - you amaze me again. One day you'll really have to tell me which planet you are from. Your comments are never deadly boring. :)
