Realization.

You came out of nowhere surprising me with who you seemed to be,
I couldn't control the feelings and how they wouldn’t let me see.
You made a first impression that I saw right through,
You surprised me with your intelligence, all the things you knew.
The day that I first met you seemed like any other guy,
But when I got to know you I knew that was a lie.
You had a personality that made me laugh and smile,
I knew that in my heart, you’d stay for a while.
Though I barely know you,
I’m starting to appreciate all things you say and do.
You taught me some life lessons, that I never would have learned,
Without your guiding hand, that horrible state I would have returned.
You taught me how to live life to the fullest, not to care what people say,
To be the bigger person and walk away.
Talking to you brings out so many feelings, things I just kept pushing deeper down inside of me,
You made me see who I really am, and who I have full potential to be.
Somehow you can always relate to the things that go wrong
Its easy for you to give me advice, to make me feel strong.
Too bad that’s all a lie now,
I’ve screwed it all up somehow.
I should have just relaxed, thought about what I was doing,
Instead I rush into things, and turn them into ruins.
Your thoughts they were so meaningful they made me stop and think,
But when I came to the realization that we would never work, my heart began to sink.
