I want what I can not have

Mon, 12/16/2019 - 22:18 -- Starboy

It sucks.

Wanting something I can not have.

You're like a world away

My family says I can't have you

You say I mean the world to you

Am I a friend?

Do you want me?

Do you like me in that kind of way?

I want what I can not have and it fucking kills me.

I have a pit in my chest.

I know I can not have you and it fucking kills me.

Long distance doesn't work

Thats what most people say

Highschool relationships dont work out

Thats what most people say

I'm so confused

I can't like you like that, I don't know you enough

  I can't like you like that

I'm afriad.

I'm terrified to ruin what we have

A friendship

If I tell you this you'll run away

If I told you would you run away?

Would you high tail it out of here like your life depends on it?

Fuck I'm sad

Fuck I want you

Fuck I want to know you better

Maybe you won't like what you see

Maybe you'll see how bad of a person I am

Maybe I'm making excuses for why I won't tell you my feelings

I know I cant like you like that

Not because my parents say no

Not because we live far from eachother

But because I don't know you enough
