i have been

the hopeless dreamer.

the girl who fantasizes about a boy

who will never love her back.

i have been

the pursued and sought after.

the girl who is fantasized about

by a boy she will never love back.

but it is when these two ends meet

that it is the most painful.

when she has the world at her feet,

but the one thing she wants most,

the one boy she loves more

than anything in the whole wide world,

is out of reach.

that is when it is the most painful,

because it becomes a chase

that never ends.
