To Be Someone Special

I just wanted to be someone special to you...

By Stephen WatsonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

All I wanted...

was to be someone important to you.

The closer I get,

the farther away I feel.

The distance between us now feels immense.

My feelings about this will continue

going on like this

in a parallel line...

never ending.

In the end,

was I just playing at being happy?

But,

this is the path I've chosen.

Even though I knew from the start.

I thought about quitting many times,

but after many tries

someone as stubborn as I

can't deal with the loneliness

and pain

right in front of me.

So I endured.

Maybe if I acted the way you wanted...

if you appeared before me again...

I can imagine

that brief feeling of

acceptance and the will to smile again.

However,

the truth is...

I just...

I just wanted to be someone special

to you.

About the Creator

Stephen Watson

I love fiction stories; I base a lot of what I write on reality and twist it into a fantasy setting. There is a lot that I can create and imagine that the possibilities are endless. Read one of my stories; take a peek of what's in my head.
