365 days have passed since that day
the day I allowed my feelings to unwind in front of you
I really had no idea you felt the same,
as ridiculous as it may sound that day
meant life and death for me
you are and always will be the first,
I knew that even then, but I was not sure you did.
I was so scared at what your reaction might be
I stared at the ground feeling a relief like no other.
when I first looked up I saw what I least expected,
your face (what I could see from behind your hands),
redder than it had ever been; shocked, happy, and scared all at once.
from that day on I allowed myself to feel the static,
I allowed myself to see you differently,
I allowed my love for you grow, no words of gratitude will ever be able to say
how happy and thankful I am to you for setting me free from all that I was
