Please.

Help me understand...

How can one fall in love with someone who they can't imagine themselves spending the rest of their life with

Please.

Tell me.

Who am I to you?

Am I someone who crosses your mind daily?

Am I someone who fills that empty space inside?

Please.

Tell me.

Is this friendship? Or is it something more?

Because

You wouldn't leave my mind alone

I crave for your touch

Your comfort

I want to be able to lay my head down on your shoulder

And being able to say "I love you, I really do."

But I couldn't.

I shouldn't.

I know I turned you down at the beginning

And as time has passed I feel like our connection has grown stronger than ever before

Yet deep down, I hear a little voice:

"One day, you will have to leave him. For the sake of your soul"

"One day, you will find someone else. The person you always dreamed of.

And he's not."

...

"Let's not fall in love."

"I'm trying", I whispered.
