Late Realization

Many people spark your interest, however ,

there's only a few, if not just one, that can spark your soul.

You spark my soul

You make me nervous

You make me want to talk to you everyday, to annoy you and don't care because I'm just expressing how much I want you around me.

I can't stand not telling you how I feel and I know right now

I'm extremely vulnerable but that doesn't concern me

Because you had me the day our paths crossed.

Yet I push my feelings for you aside out of respect for you.

Because I would rather have you as a friend, instead of losing you all together.

I truly didn't know I had these feelings for you until you asked me the simple question "what do you want?"

But it was too late.

You have already found someone else to put your time into.

Even though, you have feelings for me. You chose up.

Out of respect for me, you told me the truth

You told me how you really feel about me.

It’s was beautiful and hurtful.

I wish I was the one you was giving all that time too.

But like you said to me “I respect you too much to lie to you and I feel you too much to let you go. I'd rather have you as a friend and let our romance happen organically.”

P.S: Time will only tell if I’ll be able to explore these feelings I have.
