The Felling is not Mutual

Most people have been in this position before known as the friend zone. It's not fun and it never feels good.

When we're together, I feel amazing.
I've never had this feeling before, and yet I hate it.
It makes me feel like I'm invincible and yet it also makes me feel invisible.
I feel like I could never be around you enough.
The feeling is not mutual.

There are times when we are together and I just want to cry because you are the perfect guy and I can't have you.
Even if you knew how much I loved you things wouldn't change.
I did forget about you for awhile but they were just substitutes for you.
It was like using Equal instead of sugar.
Sweet at first then an odd bitter aftertaste.
I know you would care if you knew how much pain I'm in, but you wouldn't do anything about it.
Because the feeling is not mutual.

Sometimes you stare at me and I wonder what you're thinking or seeing.
I wonder if you are in love with me for half a second.
Even if that is true, it wouldn't help my circumstance.
I would be more in more pain than ever.
In all honesty, the feeling is not mutual.

I keep telling myself the feeling is not mutual
so I will not have any hope of having a relationship with him.
If I have hope of this happening then I will care too much.
Then I will just be more pain than before.
So the feeling is not mutual.

This is a lovely piece. It describes unrequited love almost perfectly. One thing I would suggest is that in line 6, you should use contractions because the sentence kind of seemed to run on, which interfered with the flow of the poem. Other than that, it's fantastic!
