I was just a girl,
Full of dignity.
Slightly reserved,
With a sense of humor.
He was a guy,
With a mask.
Humor carried his smile,
With a sarcastic tone.
His vibes unreadable at a distance.
Every inch of movement,
Caught my blue eyes.
A sense of amusement from the boldness.
The way he carries himself,
Like someone with a purpose.
For crossing paths with me.
Me being slightly reserved,
Knew no bounds of his honesty.
Testing the waters.
Wanting the mask to be removed.
I never knew his life story,
Never knew he almost sacrificed himself.
Never knew he was abused by a past relationship.
I didn't care for that,
I wanted to know him.
This blond haired,
Brown-eyed guy.
Knew I was watching him.
I wanted to break the ice,
To plan a surprise attempt.
He beat me to it.
Ever since day one,
His vibes became readable.
When the ice was broken.
The memories of darkness,
Pain and stress covered his soul.
His eyes were deep with understanding,
His wits high like a fox.
I wanted to help,
To hold his hand.
To hold him when the memories attacked.
I was too scared to say Hello,
He said it for me.
His boldness giving me courage to respond in kind.
After our official meeting,
I became anxious to see him.
To see him laugh at lunch,
To see him focus in English class.
I wanted his mask to be removed,
For him to show his true self to me.
I gained his trust and respect,
He fell for me.
Now my past has been dark,
Mates of that past cruel..
He healed me of this wounds,
Just by being nice.
Now..
I've fallen for him too.
*It was like love at first sight.
This is for my boyfriend who I am currently with.. I wanted to tell him how my mind carried out love to him when I first saw him.. I wasn't able to say it but I knew it was love at first sight.
