I love you

A poem to express my pathetic experience with love.

What is love?
I've read poems and stories about it
Without really understanding it
My friends say they are in love
But what is it?

They say I love you
But I possibly can't
To love is against my morals
I'd rather stay safe and alone
Admiring from a distance

It's eating me alive
The need to know if you like me back
I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy
Falling in love

I ask you one day
After the dance
If you like me
I wait for a minute which seems like days
That's when you said "I don't like you"

It hurt
Cutting into my heart
This is why I didn't want to love
Because your answer hurt more
Than not knowing at all

I think we've all been through this, being turned down. You've put it so simply into words, wonderful.
