Have You Ever…

Waited For What Feels Like Forever?

Have you ever met somebody that you instantly clicked with?
Everything felt like it had suddenly fallen into place.
You meet, and you began to fall,
Yet the timing isn’t right for either of you.
Not at all.

Your heart hopes, and you try,
Yet your would-be love?
Well, it slowly drifts out of reach.
The distance inhibits your future
Although the feelings never really disappear.

Life goes on, and you wish him happiness,
Even as you see him getting swept up in craziness.
You try your best to be a supportive friend,
Loving him from afar and hoping his pain will soon end.

All the while, he still holds a piece of your heart,
But you are forced to go on pretending.
Denying what you feel,
Denying that the feelings that have lingered in your heart are all too real
Because then you both needed time for mending.
So, the days went by, and still, you kept pretending.
