Why should it be you?

We met in college, Your laughter would light up any place. Without realizing it, I fell in love, My friend, my confidant, my everything. I confessed my feelings to you, with my heart in my hand, You looked at me tenderly, you said you already had someone you loved. My hopes shattered, like glass on the floor, But I kept fighting for your love, though I knew it was in vain. Every day on campus, my heart beat for you, I tried to steal smiles from you, to make you happy. But there was always him, in your thoughts, I was just a friend, lost in my feelings. I confessed my feelings to you, with my heart in my hand, You looked at me tenderly, You said you already had someone you loved. My hopes shattered, like glass on the ground, But I kept fighting for your love, though I knew it was in vain. My nights were long, full of sleeplessness, Thinking of your love, of our impossible longing. Until one day I understood, that I had to let you go, Close this wound, and learn to live. I confessed my feelings to you, with my heart in my hand, You looked at me tenderly, you said you already had someone you loved. My hopes shattered, like glass on the ground, But I kept fighting for your love, though I knew it was in vain. Now I walk alone, with your memory in my mind, The boy who loved you, finally gives up. I'll look for another love, who knows how to value me, And though it hurts to say goodbye, it's time to move on.
