I never realized


To the boy I once loved.

I remember the day I met you.

I was so nerves when I ran into you.

I knew I liked you once I layed eyes on you.

The way you walked, the way you moved.

You had me.

It took me so much to go up and speak to you.

We got to know one another.

We would spend all night talking instead of sleeping.

But you hurt me.

You told me you loved me.

But you would lay hands on me.

You told me you loved me.

I believed you.

Even though youwould just use the words,

to make me not notice the bruises on me.

I loved you.

But you never loved me.

I was blinded by the words,

that I didn't mind the actions.

Your true self,

I never opened my eyes to realize.

Who you really are.

I never thought of your actions.

I never realized the tears were not happy tears.

I never realized.

To the boy I onced loved,

You destoryed me.
