I Met You

I met you,

I took the time,

My heart...displayed on glass.

My soul was searched.

Shocked...

You actually replied,

Acknowledged my endurance,

That I tried and succeeded.

You took the time,

Changed me for the better,

Became the air I breathed,

Took a piece of my heart to play with,

Became the something I thought I'd never find.

You helped me grow,

Became an inspiration,

Without even knowing what you were doing,

Which was absolutely nothing,

But nothing was everything to my heart.

All you did was teach me how to be free,

Without even trying.

Then when the time came to speak about my feelings...

I couldn't face you.

You were different,

You wouldn't understand,

You never changed.

Your feelings still sat still,

You didn't love me...

I was lost again.

You weren't ready to commit...

My heart ached...

You took me in,

Helped me grow my wings,

Then when I felt strong enough,

I also became just another girl.

I was placed on 'the list',

And when the time came I let you have my heart.

I couldn't leave you,

I loved you,

I love you.

The whole time I kept falling,

Then you would take advantage and try to preach me,

You succeeded,

You succeed,

When I finally arose...

It was too late,

I still love you.

Why?

Because you are still my true love,

Your still the stability in my life,

Your still the one that pushes me further,

Your still the man who inspires my every move,

As I watch yours.

How can someone who treats me so wrong,

Mean such a substantial deal?

Why is it I need you in my life?

That's the way love is,

but I can write it all out,

word for word,

Then when I see you my heart flutters,

My eyes become fixated,

That's love.

Then you walk off with someone else,

I sit and cope with my broken heart,

That will be mended when we talk again,

That's love.
