An Even Playing Field

If you can't make someone love you
why place that person above you
with the pedestal sitting so high
you won't know if they're telling a lie
you would believe their every word
forgetting anything else you've heard
all because of how you feel
and because of that it has to be real
but you can't make someone love you
so why place that person above you
it doesn't show them how much you care
if they don't even know you're there
and if they fail to acknowledge your presence
how will they understand your essence
it's everything that makes up who you are
you're everything that shines like a star
still you can't make someone love you
then why place that person above you
don't let this make you look weak
you already possess the strength you seek
so your love story may be in need of a sequel
just find someone who will see you as an equal
then show them why they should never regret you
and because of that they will never forget you
