Poetry, Short Stories and Other Thoughts

Even though I knew....

I know I shouldn't have loved you, but I did anyway...

I knew I could never have you, but I wanted you anyway...

I knew I couldn't hold you, but I needed you anyway...

I knew I could never be beside you, but I called for you anyway...

I knew you would never care for me, but I listened anyway...

I knew and I knew and I knew, and still I cried anyway...

Because it's the way your eyes crinkle every time you smiles really big

It is that smile and laugh you have that reaches your eyes every time

It is the fact that your dimples show even when you're not smiling

It's the way I can easily get lost in those hazel eyes of yours

Because it's how you care more than anyone I have ever known

The truth is I had no choice

I had no say in any of this

And even though I knew, it was just too late
