Selfish Take 1

The speaker admits to being selfish and wanting attention from someone who doesn't make them feel important. They feel guilty for feeling this way and express their love for the person's passion and ability to make them smile. The speaker doesn't want to take away the person's happiness and will continue to be their friend without revealing their true feelings. They request that the person never forgets their worth and to always keep smiling. Forgive me for being so selfish. All I wanted was for you to give me your attention, to look my way, and to make me feel like I was someone who really, truly mattered to you. But I know that will never happen. I hate this. I hate how guilty I feel for feeling this way. In the end, no matter how I feel about you, no matter how selfish I may be, what matters the most to me is continuing to see you smile. I love how passionate you are towards everything you put your mind to. You shine so bright that it lights up the world around you. Your laughter is so full of life that I can't do anything except smile with you. I've seen so many sides of you, even your lowest moments. Seeing you like that, it hurts. You seem so happy. I don't want to take that away from you. I don't want to be the reason that your smile disappears. So you will never know how I feel. I will never say a single word. Instead, I will continue to smile with you, laugh with you. I could be the person that you need during your lowest moments, or even the one who smiles with you at your happiness. I will keep being your friend that you deserve. Nothing more. If I could make one request, then please never forget how much you matter, how amazing of a person that you are, and to never lose that beautiful smile of yours.
