2. never meant to be

I misconstrued my unrequited love for you,
A mendacious attempt despite my ineptitude.
It was a quotidian travesty,
As my heart bedeviled furtive delusions for herself.
However you were phlegmatic and pertinacious,
An idiosyncratic individual who could never be mine.
Still I wish you eudaimonia, even if we're never meant to be.
