Unrequited Love Story Poem by Evangeline walker

i am the unrequited lover
I'm in the unrequited love story
i always fall for him
but he never falls for me
I'm the girl who he likes as a friend
its so hard having to pretend
that hes not the one i dream about
that hes not the one i cant live without
that when hes not close a part of me isn't gone
and when he is i feel like i could burst into song
its hard when he holds me
but harder when he says goodbye
i tell myself i should let go
i tell myself not to cry
but the thing about unrequited love is
it never really dies.
