By your side, I never noticed anything distinctive.
Well, that’s not true.
I did notice, but I let it be dark under my lamp.
You dealt gently with my reticent heart.
Your patient coaxing broke the walls around my wounded soul.
Your thoughtful gestures rebuild my damaged esteem.
Now that I look closer, I am quite surprised by the treasure I had ignored.
I am amazed by the numerous simple nothings you bestowed upon me.
Your loving heart enveloped me.
I nearly overlooked you.
I waited for the eventful moment where you would declare your affection.
I wanted proof that you had lost your heart to me.
Yet, you had always delicately showed me your love.
