no, I don't think you're understanding.
you see, I saw a dirty pond
and although it wasn't beautiful to some people, I saw the beauty in it

I saw the way your eyes widened when you talked passionately
I saw the way you moved your knee when you were nervous
I saw the way your face lit up when someone you loved started to talk
and I saw all the wonderful curiosity inside your head

but in return,
you ruined anything good about me
my smile faded
my blue eyes turned grey
my world lost its colour
and I didn't see anything wrong with it
because all my attention was focused on cleaning that damned pond

and it wasn't until later that I noticed that
as I was trying to clean the pond up, I just got dirty in the process.
