Why Won't You Just Love Me

Poem about loving someone who will never love you back.

Why Won't You Just Love Me
Brooke Swift

Perhaps it's my fault. I have a lovely habit of looking at you and picturing our future together.

How simple it seems to me but complicated to you.

What is gender anyway?

If you just gave me a chance...

I think you're beautiful, and lately I've only said that to the moon.

I'd love you to the moon, but maybe not back, because being alone with you on the moon sounds great.

You make me say things that don't make sense. I'm stupid.

You're out of my league and in my mind at the same time.

You have me thinking your jackets were made for you and not me.

I look at you and forget I'm broken.

If you stay in my life I guess it's okay if we stay friends.

Your voice is like those songs they don't play on the radio.

Your eyes are like the words I can't think of when I need them.

The possibility of an us is like the dream you forgot you had, or maybe never had...

Or maybe you woke up and never thought about it again.


But I haven't stopped thinking about it.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
