The excitement I got when we started to talk again was exhilarating

Every moment I got to spend with you was with excitement

I cherished you so much as a person

You meant so much to me

But I only saw you as a friend

There was never a glimpse in my mind of you being more than a friend

Your feelings towards me were in love

You showed that to me

My feelings didn’t reciprocate

You were a important person in my life

I felt a real friendship with you

The time we spent together would flash by in seconds because of how much fun we had

But you couldn’t take that anymore

Your feelings were too strong

You left me alone for a while

I struggled to understand why

It bothered me every second that you weren’t my friend anymore

It took a toll on me

We saw eachother around town

And that was a sign that we needed to be in each others lives again

You made life feel different

Like a spark in my life

But I still only saw you as a friend

I was oblivious to the potential of what we could be if I just gave you a chance

If I missed a life without you in it, didn’t that mean more than just a friendship?

I kept my life going for months

I was with other people

And one day I sat down and realized how much you’ve meant to me over these months

I decided that maybe there was after all something between us

So I gave it a chance

I began to view you as someone I’d give a chance

And as I was doing this I saw everything you are and everything I was looking for

You are a reason I smile

You are a person who makes me not be afraid to be myself

It was you the whole time

And I made you sit and wait

I never understood how you felt

I never put myself in your shoes

But now I understood

And this was an important realization

Because it led us to be together

From the start, you were there and I was blind to see that

But now, I finally understood.
