You captured my gaze
and I entered this haze.
I followed my eyes
and you were my demise.
You gave me your smile
and I longed all the while.
I stood and withstood
and you gave all you could.
You gave me your heart
and I broke it apart.
But I couldn’t understand
til the moment I took your hand.
When in this deep darkness I cry,
it is you I have loved.
This is the beginning:
the storied tale of you and I.
