I see him look at her like a blind man seeing the light for the first time. I hold back the hot tears threatening to flow like streams from my eyes. He only sees her. I stand in the background hopeful that one day he could love me the way he loves her, but to him I am just invisible.


She knows she is gorgeous and every time I look at her I can’t help but be jealous. She is the bright shooting star across the sky of his life but to her he is just one more boy insanely in love with her. I could give him all my love and so much more than she ever could, but to him I am just invisible.


No one knows how much this hurts. I can’t help but hope that someday he might love me the way he loves her but right now I must find a way to mend my shattered heart. Every time I see him the tears begin to flow but I force them back and try to hold my head high. He is the bright shooting star across the sky of my life, but to him I am just invisible.
