The one that I can't have.

Whether I believe in love at first sight or, soul mates, remains a mystery to me to this day. But the more time that passes, the more I start to believe in it. That I truly want to believe in it. I mean sure I believe that there is a person out there that is meant to be with you. That everyone has that. But, what happens if you feel that way about someone but you know that nothing can happen. You two know that their is some sort of connection between the two of you. That you both have feelings and if only you were closer that something could truly come out of it. But what do I do till then? Do i keep hoping. Getting butterflies each time I see his name come up on my computer. Whenever I see a picture of him my heart just melts.
How do i control all of these feelings for him?
People say that I deserve to be treated better then what I've been in the past. Well what if he can offer that? What if it's meant to be with him? But I'm suppose to be patient? Do I just stick it out?
