Poem #30// Saving

115 5 11
                                    

The brief eye contact.
The smiles we exchanged.
The laughs we shared.

The other girl you chose.
the fake happiness I felt.
The feeling where I don't feel good enough.
All the endless pain.

And somehow,
I stuck around.
Because I like you.
I'm just saving the wold, love
For a time when I know
That you might just love me back.
