The Space Between us

I can't love you... not because you're not lovable,

not because you're not enough,

not because you're too much for me, and I'm scared to break you,

to hurt you.

How can I say I love you too when someone is hurting?

I can barely bear to look into your eyes, seeing the sadness through mine.

My love-filled eyes, once only for you, can't look the same.

I don't want to hurt both of us.

I can't choose between the two of you; you're both important to me.

I know she likes you, and I know it well enough not to say I love you too.

Everything will fall back into place when both of you find someone who loves you truly.

I can't bear watching both of you hurt.

I only hope that things will be okay, and I won't be stuck in this limbo.

I'll move forward, knowing there's someone out there meant for me.

Perhaps the universe sends us someone who's not for us to help us realize who the real one is.

No one deserves to feel unvalued, not enough to fight for, or not enough to be cherished.

If love is meant to be, I wish you both happiness, blessings, and success as you move forward.

You deserve someone who's ready to love you, fight for you, and express their feelings to you.

Sometimes love isn't meant to be said; sometimes it's better left unspoken.

I'm sorry if I'm the one who can't return your love.

I'm someone who's not for you, not the one who can love you back, express it back, or fight for you.

I'm someone who'll always run from it, someone who'll choose to hurt you, but deep down, I know I'm the one who's truly hurt.
