I knew he was different the moment I met him,
Yet I pushed him to the back of my mind.

After all,
I had another boy in mind,
I had for years.

Things went wrong with that boy,
After being right for so long,
And the other boy was forgotten in the depths of sadness.

Until the day in class,
I got stuck in his group,
And my heart did a flutter.

We started to talk,
Inside and out of school,
And I was crushing hard.

"Do you like anyone?"
I said one day,
"Yes," he replied, "but a girl from far away."

I admitted my feelings,
And we moved on,
I later found out he made a promise to himself he wouldn't date until he was 16.

But I didn't move on,
In fact the more we talked the more I found out we had the most obscure things in common,
A love of The Vault of Dreamers, of Pentatonix and Home Free.

And I liked him more,
And as I like him more,
The sadness we'll never be together increases.

Please don't forget your friendship,
My brain begs,
I won't, but my heart won't forget my feelings either.
