I always cared, you know I did. Though you threw careless words at me, as if I could catch them all with only one hand free. I was always there, even when my voice halted, and when my mind was distracted. When the burden became so heavy and you took apart the seams that kept me together. I always cried when you weren't around, watching the clock for your return. Greeting you with a smile, a true, passionate embrace.. Even when the very thought of being happy was frustrating. And I always enjoyed the warmth you gave me, and took your frozen spurts with grace and understanding. I loved the way you ran your fingers through my hair, and I accepted it when you chose not to care. I always dried your tears and told you it was fine to weep over miniscule things. So why, my love, why did you take my heart and run with it? I always cared, you know I did. |

Kaoru~ 'I always cared, you know I did. Though you threw careless words at me, as if I could catch them all with only one hand free. I was always there, even when my voice halted, and when my mind was distracted. When the burden became so heavy and you took apart the seams that kept me together.' This ache is so touchingly real~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

We each have our own dictionary, and it is dynamic. In time, we may forget to look up the important words, like "caring" in the other's dictionary, or forget to tell them that our definition has changed . . . s.a.g. |
