She didn't even know.

She lit up the room
In her own special way,
But she uttered the words,
I could never be gay.


That moment on,
She broke my heart,
Without even realising.
I knew from the start.

She could never be mine,
But still I had hope,
That she could be turned,
It was a slippery slope.

It ruined our friendship,
But she still doesn't know,
How my heart pines,
For her to show,

Just the slightest hint,
That she might care,
But deep down I know,
There is no hope there.
