I Love Him, He Ignores Me

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I stare and gawk
Just think all day.
Pretending, wishing
Daydreaming when you'll be mine.
I'm obsessed and cannot help
My stalking instincts.
And I can't understand why
The more you ignore
And show you don't know
It grows and grows.
I'm swimming in this vast sea
Of self-pity
Oh why, oh why doesn't he notice me!
I just can't understand
It doesn't make any sense
eventhough we have little to nothing in common
And rarely speak a word.
Could it be
That this square peg has been 
stuffed through this round hole?
Maybe what I'm obsessed with
is not the man at all
But just what I think he is
and what I would like him to be.

This story is all too familiar with me
Early romances went like this very similarly
But then you realize and you learn
What it is about these men
That you really adore.
It just never makes sense, does it?
Why you are "in love" with someone
That ignores you
Maybe doesn't even know your name.
And in the end, you come out completely hurt....
Or even worse...
wasting time is all you do
With these obsessions 
you think is love.
