You can miss someone who’s died,
Moved on,
Even moved away,
But the worst ones to miss are those you see everyday.
You scared them away, that’s it, that’s all.
You were confident and tried, and you turned out to be wrong.
Your friendship? Ruined.
Moments together? Awkward.
And it sucks.
Royally.
That way they avert your gaze,
Pretend you’re not there,
Ignore you completely.
And why? ‘Cause you cared!
They didn’t care.
Weren’t even aware
That to you, nobody could compare.
We all make mistakes,
And I suppose so do they.
Because I know they’ll realize, one day
The very unfortunate mistake that they made
Rejecting you, because they were afraid
Themselves.
