her eyes

Her eyes make me look small
I feel distant every time we are together
Sometimes I doubt my own existence
I never feel important in her presence

I know I’m stupid
I know I’m foolish
I know I don’t think
Whenever it comes to you

hope one day you will notice me
hope one day you will get to know me
hope one day you will respect me
because sometime no matter how strong a love is, it can fade
