I wiped the tears from her eyes
as she whispered
"I dont understand"
her gaze pierced through me
while awaiting a response
from mine

there are a million things I could say
they'd all be completely true
but in that second it was a strain
to even say what I wanted to say--
those words were never spoken

when she looked away
I swear she was disappointed
by the words that were said
and that she knew I would stay
no matter how many times
she throws me away

I will still be there by her side,
to have her hand in mine--
when she's happy, when she's sad
I know its crazy, and utterly mad
but if I could give you the world

I would stop at nothing to do so
