“For you, Im nothing, just a shadow behind your mind. You forget about me, theres someone better you need to find. I may be a shadow who cant be your part but do you know? I may be a shadow but I do have a heart. Sometimes, in life, you wish for something then there comes a time when youll stop wishing not because you already got what you wanted but because youve finally accepted the fact that not all wishes can come true.I hate you for always being there for me when I need you by my side. I hate you for telling me sweet things which make me fall so bad. But most of all, I hate myself for believing in everything you do and say when I know you're just lying anyway.When I get tired of making you realize that Im here loving you, tired of pushing myself to you, tired of hoping youll love me too and tired of crying all my tears out because of you, would you then realize my worth?I know youll never love me the way I love you but I want you to know that at one point, I knew you loved me back. Even if it was just for a minute, it was still the best damn minute of my life.”
