i found you in a dark corner,
you looked so lost so scared
so unhappy,
so alone.
i took you in and looked after you,
and as the years went by,
we still lived together.
but as friends.
nothing more.
youre oblivious soul made sure of that.

i dont think you ever knew how i felt,
that i loved the way you smiled,
that i loved the way you laughed,
that i loved the way you were grumpy in the mornings, whatever day or circumstance it was,
how every morning when i would wake up,
i would peek into your room
to see if you were awake,
and if you werent,
id go up to you and gently kiss your forehead,
only for you to wake up an hour later,
never mentioning those thousands of words holding love, masked by shyness, that i gave you,

i fell in love with all of you.

but as days came and went,
we grew further apart.
but i still loved you.
all of you.
but you wanted something more,
something better.
and you know what they say,
if you love something, let it go

so i did.
and you went.
and i lost you.
and even though that was 5 years ago,

i still think about you every day
