You walked, confidently

With no cares in the world but what you wanted from it.

You got what you needed and nothing more;

You never took advantage but you never really knew what you had.

.

She was innocent, truly

With thoughts of romance no stronger than a passing fancy.

She dreamed constantly of ways she could finally call you hers

Of her love you were undeserving, but she never dared to question it.

.

Her mistake was believing you cared; your mistake was that you didn't

She adored you, endlessly; more than she'd ever admit

Because all she ventured to share was nothing more than an abridged affection

Anything more would scare you away.

Her unwarranted fear of losing you dominated every move,

Her every thought,

Her every word

How her love remained unapparent to you remains a mystery,

For if you gave her the attention she dreamed she had, you would have defined her by it
