Years Ago

I see you.

I wonder if you see me too.

I'm so much more damaged than a single person can take credit for.

My lines hurt.

I wrote them down and ripped them back up,

Because I didn't want to see you with anyone else.

You had wowed me years ago with who you once were.

You still are that same guy inside.

Letter after letter,

I still cared.

I wonder if you still feel that way too.

You made me fall in love so easily years ago.

When that first silent, 'I love you' fell from your lips,

How else could have I felt back then?

We were just too young.

Too dumb.

Make no mistake, it's a price we both have paid.

This time it's my choice.

To dream of the life, we could have together.
