Black Locket

Second Love.

Like is.
crushes. infatuations.
nothing serious, just for fun.
it makes you blush.
cheeky.

Love?
is a whole different story.
it's something more real.
perhaps something that can only be identified with time & maturity.
something much more deeper. meaningful.
worthwhile.
true.

I may not be the one you love.
And it hurts to love you silently the way i do.

But what breaks my heart even more is to see you so down.
Even though you don't really show,
but i know.

Because i know you so well.
And the same goes for you too.

But my mission isn't to get you to love me back.
Because that's something only you can do.
My mission is to make you happy.

So i'll settle for less instead.
I shall not turn to isolation as a solution.
Because keeping myself away from you won't stop this feeling.
Because what kind of friend would i be if i walk away from you in your time of need?

I'll be the greatest friend i can ever be.
I'll be there for you,
with every step you take.
I'll put up with my heavy heart just to make you happy.
I'll be guiding you through your battles.
I'm not gonna leave your side.
I won't let you face this tide alone.

I will always be here.
I promise.
