My Message To You

I still remember the day that we met.
You wore a long sleeved sweater though it was barely cold.
I remember looking at you and thinking to myself,
you're the only one I'd ever want to hold.

I was stuck in a tough situation during the time I fell for you.
For certain reasons, I fell under someone else's capture,
but I remember getting captivated by your icy blue eyes.
But someone else caused my heart to fracture.

Yet somehow, through all the trouble I put you through,
you decided to stay by my side as my friend.
Though I wanted you to be much more than just that,
I knew that one of my strings had to end.

But your eyes dared me to move closer.
As if mocking me on my own battlefield.
I suppose I surprised you by cutting off the other string.
And setting down my heart's only shield,

because your hands clasped around my weak heart.
A shock at first, only to realize it brought comfort.
I was so very afraid of you leaving me,
of having another one kicking me into the dirt.

But somehow you made my tears swell up in joy,
you made them fall freely because I was allowed to.
You have me so much to live for and you continue to do so.
I still remember the day we met, because that was the very day I fell for you.

A message to a special someone!
