Person vs Passion

I love someone.

But I know it can’t be.

At least, not now.

Because how could it?

How could I show them the love I feel for them 

When my love is being shown

To something else?

Something equally as important as them.

Something equally as life-changing as them.

Something equally as ever lasting as them.

Something I love as equally as them.

I don’t have time to be present in time with them.

I don’t have time to be distracted from my goals.

I don’t have time to feel these emotions.

I don't have time to just exist with them.

I don’t have time to love someone.

I only have time to study.

I only have time to do my IA’s.

I only have time to do my EE.

I only have time to apply to universities.

I only have time to be a student.

I’ve been given an opportunity at Pearson

To become greater than ever possible at home.

I can’t let myself slip up.

I can’t let myself slack off.

I need to take full advantage of what I have.

I need to push myself beyond my limits.

I need to get the most out of my education.

Even if it means I break myself in the process.

I need to prove I deserve to be here.

Even if it means I lose myself in the process.

I love someone.

The someone I love is me.

I say that I love me, but do I really?

How can I?

How can I say I love me when I show the love 

meant for me to everything 

except for me?
