Julianne

Once upon a time, We were younger and we loved each other. You loved me freely, for the world to see, But I had fears so I loved you secretly. But you should know that I did. Know that even with the passing time I love you, and my fondest memories Will always be from when you were mine. It was never official, never public, But it was real. The deepest emotion I ever felt, I felt in my bedroom, looking in your eyes, Studying every inch of your pale skin And unable to find fault in you I said, "You look like a goddess." And you did. And you were. At least to me, You were my queen. And you'd never know, Because I never told. But I'm telling you now even though you're gone. Even though you moved on. I love you still, I loved you always. And though I never said the words, (Even when you needed them most) I told you every day, Told you with my eyes, because I look At you like I'm standing at the gates of heaven. I told you with my lips, because I kiss Your flesh like it's my favorite dish and I may never get the chance again. I told you like this, in poems I breathe but Never shared, and that was my biggest mistake.
