I sought after you,

Long and hard,

I craved your attention,

I relished the thought of being together,

I wanted to be near you.

I heard your voice in the crowd,

I saw your face through the thousands,

I wrote you poems and stories,

I was ignored,

Or at least I assumed I was,

It pains me so,

To see you with your new beau.

I sought after you, 

Many times I asked,

And many times,

Nary an answer did I receive,

I wanted to be with you, 

I sought you.

Now I see,

That you did not see me,

In the same light,

That I could not measure up,

To your pedestal,

I sought after you,

But that was not enough,

For you to even see me.
