One-sided Love Story

I sit beside you in class. You never notice how often I sneak a stare at you. You're always busy doing stuffs I'm not interested at.

One time you caught me staring, I smiled at you and you smiled back. I told you my name and you told me yours.

Days passed by. I grew more and more interested at you. We're not friends though. We don't always talk much. We were just strangers sitting side-by-side, smiling at each other at times.

One day, I saw you at the library talking to another girl. I tried to say hi but your eyes were glued at her. You seemed so engrossed at whatever she was saying.

I asked about her the next day. You were startled caught off-guard, wondering how I'd known. I tried to sound nonchalant; like I'm not in a million ways interested. You just smiled and started talking. You told me how perfect she is, how much you love her, how much she makes your day, how different she is from every other girls, which made me realize how much of a loser I am compared to her.

It's funny how I seem to not notice everybody else when you're with me. I only see you. I can only think of you at night before I sleep. You're my every wish, my every dream. If only you could see me too, the way you see her. But then you don't. So I guess you'll never know how I feel.
