Not Like the Movies
The Reality of Unrequited Love
Sometimes I want to tell you,
I wander if it's something I could do.
To explain how I'm feeling,
One possible outcome is appealing.
I know that I could,
If it was guaranteed to be like Hollywood.
I'd just be a girl standing in the rain,
And a kiss would be all that was needed to explain.
But reality stripped of the glitz and glamour,
What if I mess up? Or stu-stutter or stammer?
Or perhaps even worse,
I could speak in perfect verse,
But my feelings aren't reciprocated.
I'm left deflated.
Because although cinema taught me,
That if I wanted something so badly,
It's a guaranteed win.
Just dive right in.
Just open up about your feelings and express.
What have you got to loose? Don't stress.
But I could loose my best friend.
And that's not a part of my life I'm ready to end.
So I'm just a girl sat in silence.
Filled to the brim with compliance,
To accept things as they are.
Because sometimes wishing on a star,
Will only get you so far.
