TEN | You... You

With no idea of how it birthed
So it began, the story of my demise

I never saw you
I doubt you saw me
Makes sense....
I was...blinded by 'another'
And you might already be with your significant other
(I won't ruin it, I promise.)

It started with a little christmas twist
A few whispers here and there, but I must desist
With a little bit of an inscrutable glare
That sparked within me, a flare
(I still won't ruin it, pinky swear)

A year passed by
then two
I heard it was 5 too many
I took it upon me to step back a few
Watching her be happy with You
(See? I'm not ruining it)

Then 'another' came by
then left

One unexpected day...You were there!
Right where it began
My heart lurched out of my chest
I hadn't seen you in...who knows how long

And all my body ached to do
was embrace you lovingly...
to finally have thee in my arms
.... And I didn't....I couldn't

But I'm left in ruin.
