She has been the one

The one for me

The love of my life

Since the day I met her

Ever since I saw her smile

Her eyes, heard her laugh

I know she was meant for me

Except she doesn’t want to know that

I see it in the way she moves toward me

In the way she talks to me

She likes me back

She just doesn’t want to admit it

I know her parents wouldn’t approve

I know she says I am not her type

Jokingly, but with an apologetic smile

Like she doesn’t want to hurt me

I know how she fells and she hurts me not admitting it

So at some point I asked if she would date me

She blushed and was about to cry

When from her lips got out the words: you’re a girl, I can’t

The question, it seemed, would always remain: cannot, or will not?
