Unrequited Love

I have liked you since I can remember
And in my heart there was no other
I've always hoped you felt the same
My heart leaps when you say my name

One brief moment I felt pure joy
But then my heart you did destroy
I have never felt so deep a pain
Or fought so hard to place the blame

That one moment when I was happy
Was when I thought that you might like me
As it turned out you were just playing
That's when my heart started breaking

And even though it hurts so much
I still long for just one touch
No matter how you may break my heart
I will love you as I have from the start

I think about you all the time
Trying to find a reason or rhyme
Should I have waited to tell you how I felt
I couldn't, I knew my heart would melt
