Sunlight

(Inspired by secret loves)

Trying to catch you

Is like trying to catch sunlight

Every time I try,

I get burnt out instead.

Trying to look at you

Is like trying to look at the sun

Every time I try,

I get blinded instead.

Trying to ignore you

Is like trying to ignore sunlight

Every time I try

I get sweat-soaked instead.

Trying to love you

Is like trying to love the sun

Every time I try

I get heart burn instead.

But you keep walking past me

You never notice me;

You keep smiling at me

And flashing those white teeth;

You’re still talking to me

Like I’m just another friend;

You’re driving me mad

And you don’t even know it

The grief of secret loves…

So much I love

Too much I hurt.
