"I love you. Do you love me too?"

These words screamed out in my head, begging for me to say them. Pulling on every thread of my existence.

But no. I must keep my cool, my calm and my head about this. Why was love so irrational? Why do we go after things we cannot have?

I suppose human nature is that way, I truly have no answer. I suppose you ask the same question about why the skies are blue.

You can come up with a scientific answer, sure, but love isn't scientific. It's blind, deaf and sometimes dumb.

That's my only reasoning for why we love people we cannot have. That's also why their touch, words and actions mean so much more to us then them.

A single touch can burn a mark for weeks, a phrase of words can last a lifetime and a kind action can save our lives.

It's slightly ironic that we teeter on the edge of our seats, wondering what's going on with them, while they care for someone else much more then they care for us.

I wish I could tell you, exactly how I feel, but words fail me and actions are not bold enough. The intensity of my love is hotter then the sun and deeper then the depths of the ocean.

As I'm watching you from a distance, I can't help but smile at your inconsistencies and beam at your moments of triumph.

I'm still sitting down, watching you talk with her; your eyes are filled with fascination and laughter. You're crazy about her.

And I'm crazy about you. But, I'll never feel the warmth and care that she feels.

But oh well, I suppose it's alright. I'll still be sitting here, amused by your actions and stunned by your words, over in the corner. Dreaming dreams that won't come true and wishes of you.
