Just her. — Summary

Days pass and I am Unnoticed, By the girl I have been dreaming of,

By the girl who made everything in my life a little better. By the one girl who can steal my heart but I can't steal hers.

I wish it was me, not another fool, With each passing hour, minute, second, Everything stops when I see her,

But to her, I am nothing but.. A friend. At least to her;not to me.

Somewhere in between our laughs and jokes.. I fell. Hard. I wish I didn't have to fall like that, It hurt. The feeling of uncertainty, Knowing she'd pick anyone over me.

I didn't like the feeling, this feeling of being crossed in love. I was out of the picture. I was always out of the picture, She likes him, I like her. Who likes me? No one... At least .. Not anymore.

The speaker is in love with a girl who thinks of him only as a friend, and the poem is his painful admission of that. He describes how she makes his life better and how everything stops when she's near, yet he stays invisible to her. The line "She likes him, I like her. Who likes me?" sums up the problem neatly: a chain of feelings that never loops back to him.

What stands out is how the hurt builds. He says he "fell" somewhere between their jokes and laughter, and the single word "Hard." on its own line makes the fall feel heavy. The broken phrasing and trailing dots give the poem a hesitant, halting voice, as if he's struggling to say it out loud. The mood is raw, lonely, and a little defeated. The ending, "No one... At least.. / Not anymore," is ambiguous, but it suggests he feels left with nobody, and that something in him has given up hoping.

I was hoping you would never change But you were already on the other side of the page The perfect sky is grey You left me alone the 19th of May

Used.

When no one else was there, You were the first one I could count on, You always seemed to care. But nothing lasts forever
