I needed to be around something-- that I couldn't have-- even though I could see, - you as yourself-- we we're reflections-- I came from the rib - given to you-- I needed to see love, - from the outside- looking in at you-- I'm held aback by words-- on a paper- a band placed upon my finger-- I refuse to bare, - heavy is the weight when I wear. I needed to be around something-- with boundaries set- my eyes stumble,-falling over a treasure -heart skips within my chest--I must keep it a secret,--kept to self. I cannot share,--he beholds the jewels of my love- my heart is boxed--keeping you, inside me. I needed to be around something-- that couldn't love me,-- at least a love-- a love that couldn't harm me. This love you've shown me, -was a love of self, your self love you put into me-- is a love I haven't got from someone else. - You know me, what you don't-- you find in me, every word spoken-- your ears,-listening. Any change-- you notice with me-- as I do you.
I needed to be around someone to love-- to love from afar, -so I could not lose.

" Sometimes, the person viewing you from afar, loving you in silence, is the one capable of loving you the greatest." - unknown.
