Smile Poem by Des Agos

There's this girl
A girl who means so much
So much more than she knows

Her name flies around my head
Every moment
Of every day

Her smile
Her laugh
It's always there

I can't get her out of my head

I'm in love with him
There's no doubt that he's the one for me
I couldn't handle being without him

But she's always there
And yet
She doesn't know

She doesn't know how I feel
She doesn't know that I want her
She doesn't know that I need her

What would she say if she knew?
Does she feel the same way?

I can't just confess
And it's killing me inside
To know that she is happy with someone else

To know that I'm not the one she loves
To know that I'm not the one she wants

I hate not being able to tell her
But I want her to be happy
And if that means letting her go

Then I will give her up forever
Just so I could see that smile on her face
