Be the one that stays: Unrequited love

I always thought that we consciously chose the people we love, but with you, my heart chose you, unexpectedly, it decided to wrap its arteries around you, all of you: the sparkle in your eyes, your attentiveness, your subtle accent, your distinct walk, your rationality, your existence, and how my walls draw in around all of you, it chose you. My heart seldomly clutches itself on another but when it does, it incorporates the person into my days, so when the skies illuminate with a spectrum of ethereal colors and I am in awe, you are the first person I want to share my joy with. My heart has buried you deep into my unconsciousness, so when I temporarily die, you are all around me until I rise and it dawns to me that my heart rushed, its beats didn't wait for yours to align with it, so it keeps choosing you, every day, you are the one that it looks forward too, you are the one that it truly longs for, you the one it begs for but unaligned, I love you from far hoping that, maybe one day, you will be the one that stays.
