And I wanted to tell you
so many times
but the words were choked
by pride
by fear

too many times
I looked at you
unable to comprehend
why you were the only one
that didn’t know
that couldn’t see

endless nights I ached
for understanding
for answers
and still my heart repeated...
‘why’

and I needed to tell you
regardless of the late hour
or the unrequited emotions
I just needed you to know

I love you
I’ve always loved, you
I will forever
love
you

Ever enchanting, SEA...

the graphic and poetry lends to each other kindly, and as always your earnest heart shines so intent, I'm frankly surprised there are no indentations on my screen.

Smile.

In other words, lovely.

perhaps maybe blinded by love's light?

Wonderful write and much enjoyed.  One that I think maybe more out there that can relate to than maybe willing to admit it.

Blind! He's just blind. Lucky. But blind. Pity... Bunnie hugs sweet lady and a lot of 'em.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
