crammed in her eyes were tears
her gaze, never landing on me.
she knew what i was going to say.
she knew what i was going to do.

i know she loved me
widely and deeply
but i could never love her
ever quite the same way.

her eyes sparkled when she saw me
her lips curled when she looked away
but she was too scared of loosing me
and truthfully, a little mundane.

she smelt of my childhood
and tasted of utopia but
by the time i realised that
i knew it was ending.

she spoke of escape and things
that would never ever happen
she was a dreamer and all i want to be
is just her dream

that's all i'll ever be.
i think i broke her heart.
