It may seem all fun and games, 
But it's one of the hardest things life can throw at you.
Those of you looking in from the outside
See nothing but joy and crazy, occasionally insane,
But unless you're there yourself,
You have no clue.
It's a life of being so close,
Yet so far away.
You're not one in a million,
But one of millions.
You're lucky if you get to meet the person you love
Only once in your life.
Even when he sees you, 
He sees all of the other faces in front and behind you.
It's impossible not to fall in love,
Even when you know there's probably no chance for you.
It may be the greatest thing in the world,
But it's also the worst.
You can't get away from it, nor do you wish to.
The pain in you heart never subsides,
Even when the joy overwhelms it.
The greatest gifts
Usually have the most terrible curses attached.
So why even venture there to begin with? You ask...
I'd do it again in a heart beat.
I would never trade this in for something else, ever.
Yes, it's painful,
But it's beautiful, as well.
