Countless Nights

I've been told

That if you repeat a word

Over and over

It loses meaning

I have stayed up

Countless Nights

Repeating your name

Hoping that you will

Mean less to me

With each breath

I've spent countless nights

Wondering

"Should I smile because you're my friend?

Or should I cry because that's all you'll ever be?"

Countless Nights wondering why,

of all people my heart could have chosen,

It decided on a boy like you.

A boy who didn't have enough room in his heart

To love someone like me.

I have spent countless nights

Waiting on you to realize

That I am in love

With a boy like you!
