Let Go of Unrequited Love

It is like you are watching from the passenger side
And side mirror as your life is just passing you by.
It is like watching and seeing your heart as it spills
Blood all over the street, but people walk or ride
By like it means absolutely nothing. The one guy
You say I love you to, but it is like running up hills

Only to be disappointed by the view and when he
Does not love you back the same way. It is like you
Think the whole world stops, but you have to keep
Breathing through the hurt and pain. You finally see
Through the fog and maybe you will realize very few
People will treat you like dirt under their feet. Weep

And cry all you want, but he is not worth it. That
Love is something you hold onto until someone can
Love you back. They will love you a million times as
Much as you do. They will take every strike and at-bat
For you. The guy you were pining over was never man
Enough to give you that love back. You are still a topaz.
