the end of us.

Once upon a time, you meant the world to me.
You were my safe haven,
I bared my soul for you.
I gave up everything to you with sincerity,
And never asked for anything in return.
I don't understand what drew me to you.
Perhaps it was your the look of permanent anguish in your eyes,
Or our fights which ended in passionate kissing and apologies.
Maybe the adrenaline of how wrong we were together,
Like polar opposites.

I can remember the moment I fell for you.
You were staring from the corner,
Looking out of place and awkward.
Everyone around me stared at you with disdain.
But I saw something else in you.
After a minute of conversation, I saw your heart.
I only glimpsed it before you hid it away from me,
You buried it deep within your tough facade.
But I saw enough of it to know the real you,
The side which I haven't uncovered since that day.

At first, I couldn't let go.
I still miss you.
But I know it's over.
