UNREQUITED

Side by side on a rooftop,
Just two kids baring our souls.
The crack in your voice..
God, it sounds so beautiful.
The sound of the innocence in you.

I sigh and say, "I hope one day,
You will find someone.
Someone who will protect this innocence.
Someone who will see it.
Cherish it.
Protect it."

As I say this, I imagine you thinking,
"I wish I had fallen in love with you."

Truth is-
I wish you had fallen in love with me.
But I'm not that lovable,
And you could rule the Galaxy.
