Jar of Hearts

Tonight as the light flashed across your face, I was again reminded of how beautiful it was.
Your hair flowing like a frame, your eyes wide with youthful wonder and energy.
Always I find myself staring, remembering that I'm not your number one.

I'm always in the back of your mind, while you are all around me. On my phone, in my mind, even in my arms. So close, but I know. I'll never be the man you want, and I can accept that, because what I have is a friend.

And that's a gift for a lifetime.
