My One Sided Love

I say your name, Glory, like a thought I shouldn't have. It just slips out sometimes, when noone is around to hear. You move like morning light on days I barely get out of bed soft, sure, and far from everything I am. I don't think you ever knew how loud you echoed in my chest. I’d just smile, pretend my heart wasn’t pacing everytime you laughed, everytime i heard your voice I never asked for much— just a glance that meant something, just once. But maybe I,Brian, was meant to love you quietly, like background music you never notice it, but plays anyway. And maybe that's okay, You’ll never be mine, but you’ll always be the softest ache I never regret, or maybe.
