Having someone that is the focus of your affection can be very hurtful if it isn’t returned. It can also be mind boggling trying to figure out what to do if that person doesn’t even know you are alive. A lot of sleepless nights go by thinking and weeping not knowing what to do.

“Great is my aspiration

to make you mine.

It may take a little time,

but I am not deterred

because I will have the last word.

I have yearned many nights

myself to sleep,

just thinking of you

until I weep.

There must be a way

to cause you to see me

with interest some day.

I must come up with a plan.

A plan that will make you my fan.

Thinking and thinking is all I do,

whether it be strictly of you

or how to win you.

It is driving me crazy

with all of this thinking.

Much more of it

and I fear,

that I will start sinking.

I have got to get a grip

before I totally flip.

You don’t even know

that I am alive.

Why must you deprive?

I have done everything

except try to talk to you,

which may turn out

to be the thing to do.

It is so hard,

and I am so scared.

For my heart

I must guard.

I have never been good

at accepting rejection.

It is as bad as an infection.

I must try to talk to you.

It is the only thing left to do.

I have to muster the courage

somewhere inside

and let the main focus

be my guide.

I am going to do it

with maybe some wit.

I now feel good about the idea.

Wish me luck,

that I don’t get stuck

on the words to say.

Anything worth having

is worth whatever

you have to go through 

to obtain it.

I can see that now,

and I can see how

that comes in to play.

I can now see 

what I must do

to win you.
