When that one person messes with your mind

Ocean

Story

You mess with my mind

Sorry that the feeling shows

But at least I try.

Why are feelings so complicated?

I don’t know why I always run away.

Come and meet me in the night,

I wonder

Would you want to stay?

Oh, you.



Someone else gets the chance

To make you happy.

Someone else gets the chance

To prove themselves.

Someone else with

Their own flaws

Their own strengths

Their own problems

Their own intentions

Will walk by your side.

And I hope

It’s the right someone else.

It hurts to see her with someone else, but it is good to see her happy with someone else.

I have tried so hard.

Tried to make everyone happy.

Now I stare into the night

While everyone is happy

Without me.

And the person I care about most

Is sad somewhere else.

When effort goes unnoticed
