"Be you, because everyone else is already taken." This quote makes me realize that I'm good enough for anything or anyone. A lot of people talk about how we need to learn how to be ourselves, but this quote has a deeper meaning. At least to me, it means more than being comfortable with who you are.


I never thought that I would fall for you.

not you, I had my mind on someone else.

but here I am, feeling like I'm in the wrong.

even though you know, you pretend to like

it doesn't matter, like you don't care.

not in a bad way, not in an ignorant way.

but in a way of hope and faith,

that one day, you would want me.

 

you said you would tell me when you like someone,

and who it is.

but I guess part of me wishes and dreams of that day.

you'll tell me who it is, and it'll be me.

 

but my best friend still loves you, 

she says not in the way she used to,

but I can tell when I look into her eyes.

she has a hatred for me because I fell for you.

 

is it okay for me to pretend?

just for one day, pretend.

pretend that you want me,

that you love me.

 

but for now, I just smile,

smile and pretend,

because I know that my dreams

never become a reality.

 

so can I pretend for a day

for a minute, or a second,

that you love me, the way I love you
