You smile at me
The way you do at the sight of an infant
You laugh at my jokes
The way you do when you watch your favorite sitcom

But you never looked at me
The way you did when you loved her

I didn’t expect to find such serenity
From the battle that is life
Or in the presence of monsters and demons
So eager to ravage my humanity

How can I not
When time and time again
You are the light that shines bright
In all of my dark nights?

You loved
With your whole heart
Like you knew nothing of pain

You loved me
With your whole heart
Like you didn’t know I caused your pain

You knew
Yet you loved me nonetheless

Nothing.
That's what he was.

Nothing but another person in the crowd.
Nothing but a random face in class.
Nothing but an unextraordinary writer.
Nothing but a boy.

He was nothing.
Definitely nothing.
Until he wasn't.

So I’m just another idiot who fell for you.
Just another idiot who isn’t ready to repair her wings to fly again
Or her oars to sail again.

Nope.
I’ll be stuck here.
So madly in love with you.
Blinded, like you are.
Maybe oblivious, even
To who ever else out there.
