Realize

People always say how they wish they knew back then what they know now. Sometimes people can also wish they realized what they had before it was gone. I realized what I could have had, but he needed to realize it too. Turns out it was all just wishful thinking. I stuck around because I genuinely liked him. I thought that maybe this would be worth it. Some days it seemed like it was too perfect to be true, that's because it was. I saw the cracks and the imperfections every now and then, but like I said before... I really like him so I didn't want to base it on just that. But here I am again running because thats all I know. I am all too familiar with the goodbye scene and the running away. The minute I realized that I actually truly cared for him and it didn't really seem to effect him; I ran. I still can see the potential we had. We had so much in common, we got along great when we would hang out and he always could make me smile and laugh. It was a good feeling, one I hadn't felt in a long time; but I still decided to run. All I've ever wanted was someone to stand still with, to have something that just came naturally.

I'm still left with the question though...will he ever realize?
