To You, From Me: In Time

I never expected it to be you.

I never expected you to see through,

Everything I had built to start anew.

In my polite words was a plea,

Someone, anyone, please save me.


Along came you, and at first, distrust.

I couldn't bring myself to let you in;

My dearest friend had left me in the dust,

I felt my happiness was a sin.


I heard your voice, months after that,

When we had grown closer at last.

Inside, I felt my defense begin to melt.

You cared; that much I felt.


We've laughed and cried,

We've died inside,

But through it all, I must confess,

It's difficult to not digress;

Now, though I am in pain,

I think of you, and that is how I am able to remain,

Alive and well. As sure as the time is today,

Because of you, I will be okay.


- A tribute to my moirail of two years, Rose.
