Why Does Love Hurt So Bad?
(This Is A Poem I Wrote About A Guy I Like)

This is a question I often ask My friends and myself.
Does it hurt my mind, my heart, or my soul more?
Where does the pain come from and how do you cure it once it gets here.
Sometimes when I see or think of you I feel empty.
My heart starts to dance and I get that weird feeling in my stomach
I think of why we are only friends, and it hurts a little more with each passing day.

I see your green eyes looking deep into mine and wonder what you are thinking.
Are you thinking about me, your family and friends, or nothing at all?
I hear your voice calling my name and I start to run towards you.
Realizing this is only a never-ending dream that keeps haunting me.
Wondering when this feeling will go away or lead somewhere someday.
I can’t make you love me even though I wish I could.
When I hear your name I don’t know whither to smile or cry.
If I smile people will wonder about me, but do they understand.
And if I cry they will ask me questions like who and why.
I wait for the day you say “I love you” and we walk hand in hand.

I just can’t stop the way I feel about you, it is to controlling.
There is so much I want to say, but you will never know how I truly feel.
And if you ever found out, would you even care?
Now I see you with someone else, after lying to me about love.
I should be happy for you cause I love you like a brother but it’s too hard.
Cause I want to be more than your sister, lover or a friend.

I want you to be happy even if it puts my happiness on hold.
They say its better to love and lose, then to never love at all.
But I don’t get it cause it only brings more pain after separation
I feel so empty inside and yet whole outside at the same time.
And I’ll keep waiting for the day I can tell everyone you’re mine.

I think everyday about why I’m better for you then she is.
And that’s why love hurts so bad.
