Quiet Strength, Unrequited Love
Finding a way to get by
And there it is once again.
That old, familiar feeling
starts creeping in.
Thinking you might
love someone
so much more
than they can ever
love you.
***
You take a few deep breaths,
wait for the overwhelm to dissipate.
Gently wipe those
tears from your cheek.
Plaster a fake smile
on your face,
and head back out
into the world.
***
Later, someone will
touch you on the shoulder
and ask if you’re okay.
You’ll nod and smile
to reassure them.
***
You will be okay,
with time.
After all, they still need you
and you’ll be there for them.
You always find a way to
deal with it.
Find a way to
get by.
