Unicorn: that unobtainable something that makes your world brighter

So the first time i met you i was a bit skeptical. You happened into my apartment when i had some things out that i shouldn't of. Sitting on my secret compartment coffee table was my bank roll. At the time it might have been up to $1000 in bills in a neat stack of twenties. Really only $100 of it is profit, the rest is my re-up money. You said "wooh that's a lot of cash!" with a smile. Anyways, i got defensive. I erected a small wall around me and shot you one of my patented stern glances, watched you cautiously through the night and then promptly moved my bank after you left. I didn't like that you saw where i put it, i didn't like that you knew i had it and now i didn't like you.
How things have changed over the past year and a half. My new Unicorn.
I've had others. The concept of a Unicorn is not foreign to any girl past the age of 12. Unicorns are just those people (or i guess they could be things) that you know you can never have or touch. They're only visible from afar. This can mean from a distance physically (you’ve never even spoken) or emotionally (you will never tell them how you feel). Try to ignore any stalker like implications, because when you have a unicorn, you are fully aware of the impossibilities and have accepted them. There’s a sad ambivalence behind it. You’re heart, against your will, has made a martyr out of you, burning you at the stake and all you can do is laugh. Because if you were to get to close to the object of your affection, the illusion might disappear. Your stupid heart has convinced your mind that they’re perfect and the cognitive dissonance that could be created when you discover that they’re human could kill you.

So you just burn.

Now i look forward to your every visit. You make me smile and i look for every opportunity to see you without my boyfriend getting too suspicious. He knows about the crush. I told him. I just can't shake it.
There is no way that anything could happen. Completely unattainable, unrealistic, immoral. I know you like your morals. But you make me happy just knowing that you're in the world. Something special that seems so perfect that it shouldn't exist.
