i know there will never be an us,

i know there will never be a universe where we're in love,

i know there will never be a day where you fall for me,

i know there will never be a chance of you seeing me the way i see you,

i know there will never be a time where you smile at me the way a writer loves books, the way a mother loves their child, the way a dog loves its owner, the way a desert loves the rain, the way an artist loves music,

and darling, those are the reasons i will never live in reality.
