I didn't want it like this,
I wanted a fairy tale,
Where, when you found out,
You kissed me and hugged me,
I wanted you to want me,
Need me even,
But that's a fairy tale,
This is reality,

I was fooled into thinking
That they were the same,
We were the same,
But I was wrong.
We may like each other,
We may be friends,
We may exchange glances
And sneaky looks,
But in reality, we're miles apart,

So when I heard her ask you
As I walked by,
I realized that this isn't a fairy tale,
This isn't your fault,
It's mine.
I allowed myself to smile over you,
And to want you,

But I guess, I should have learned by now,
With happiness comes hurt,
And I didn't put up my guard.

Such a sad poem. But then, Ive never had my heart broken. Even my crushes (all unreturned) turned out perfectly fine. I am unlove, but supremely lucky :) I did, however really appreciate the second stanza if you can pull me into feeling a little betrayed by fate, feeling like there is something so precious just beyond my grasp without resorting to pretensious words or flowery descriptions of dark angst (no offense, dark romance writeres) then you have skill. I like the point you added, that the dissapointment was their despite the friendship. Great work! And oh... Im sorry. You replied for a feedback for feedback thread and, thouh I warned it would take awhile, i didnt think it would be three months. Im so sorry!
