To the One that I Never Had

Was it that moment when my gaze landed on you?
Was it when you smiled?
Was it when you talked to me?
Was it when you helped me?
Or was it when you knew?

You were too kind, I thought
You were too sweet, I can say
You were too perfect
And you were to fall for, definitely

Then I fell
Shallow at first
Hooked as we get along
Deeper as I get to know
And deepest when it starts to ache

I regarded the signs
I followed my heart
I followed my happiness
Then I was trapped

And when you finally asked
Without hesitation
Without second thoughts
Without anything, I gave in

I loved you regardless of the situation
I loved you regardless of the judgements
I loved you that I was willing to take risk
I loved you simply because…
