On a Lonely Night
Why did it have to be you?
Of all the people I could’ve loved…
Why the one who wouldn’t choose me too?
I didn’t ask for much.
Just a glance.
A pause.
A little space in your day,
Where I could softly exist.
You shined —
like a scene from a movie
and I,
a side character too afraid to speak
but too in love to leave.
Anyway…
If we stayed like this,
maybe no one would get hurt.
You’d keep smiling,
And I’d keep breaking
quietly.
Even when your head
rested on someone else’s shoulder,
I whispered,
“I’m still here.”
Even when the rain came,
and the morning froze,
I stayed.
I always stay.

I wonder if you ever close your eyes
and see me, too.
The way I see you —
smiling like it never hurt.
I fell asleep
wishing you’d love me back.
But you never did.
You laughed in places
I couldn’t reach.
You cried in arms
I didn’t know.
Still,
if you ever need someone —
on a lonely night,
I’ll be there.
Even if you never look my way.
