I Still Choose You
Even in a story where I was never chosen. Loving you from a distance I could never cross. I was always there… just never the one you saw
Many stars surround me,
Yet my eyes stay on the moon.
Not because it shines the brightest,
not because it is the biggest,
But because I see
the loneliness it carries
through the dark seasons.
When I think of you,
I think of the moon.
I imagine you there,
quiet, distant,
aching in silence
just like me.
If I am the sun,
Then, you are the moon.
Two souls burning in our own ways,
hiding the pain,
showing only light.
So similar,
so close,
yet never meant to meet.
The sun chases,
the moon drifts
but they never touch.
Maybe this love is one-sided.
Maybe it lives only in me.
But still…
I get to see you every day.
And somehow,
That softens my heart.
Even when your eyes
belong to someone else,
I still love you.
And thank you
for letting me feel this love at all.
Maybe I’m foolish.
Maybe I’m just in love.
Maybe it’s nothing
but to me,
it is everything.
I would die for you
would you notice?
I would cry for you
would you notice?
I would break for you…
would you notice?
What must I do
to earn your love?
I give all I can
yet I am still unseen.
Fifteen years…
my eyes have only known you.
Among all the stars,
you are the only one
I could never turn away from.
Maybe one-sided love
is enough for me.
Because I already know
we were never meant to be.
And still…
I will love you anyway. 🤍

Oh…... Loving someone who will never see you the way you see them, that is one of the hardest things to carry. Fifteen years of holding this love, even when you know you were never meant to be, that takes so much courage. Unrequited love does not make your love less real or less beautiful. You are allowed to feel this, to ache for someone who will never choose you back, and still honour what you feel. Thank you for being this honest. This is brave work.
