Sometimes The One You Love, Don't Love You Back Poem by RHODVICK LUSENO

He watched her from afar,
Longed for her love like a star
But never dared to speak his heart
For fear of tearing their friendship apart.

Days turned into months,
He danced around his feelings like a dunce
And in moments of solitude and despair,
He'd tell himself he'd rather not dare.

Then one day he found his courage
And confided in her his deepest outpourage
But she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry,
I can't love you back, don't you worry."

His heart sank like a stone,
Feeling lost and all alone
For he had always hoped and dreamed
That she'd return the love he deemed.

How cruel love can be at times,
A dance of fortunes and many rhymes
Where one can yearn and still fail
And in heartbreak, tell a different tale.
