The One I'd Never Noticed

He was the one, the one I'd never noticed,

I'd pushed him out when my world was unfocused

I'd passed him off as a desire that couldn't be fulfilled,

I'd let him out of my reach, let my walls rebuild

When he said something to me, his voice was no longer lilting,

The light he emitted vanished, he was just a flower wilting

The more I pushed him out, the harder for me to stay,

The longer my ambivalence, the longer the delay

Yesterday I fell hard and the world was crying, 

Others around me stayed by, when I felt like I was dying 

But when I opened my eyes for the first time in days, 

It was then that I knew exactly what to say

For he was the one who hoisted me back on my feet,

When all I wanted was to fall again, to escape, to retreat

All this time I thought, that it was me who was not worthy,

But you were the one passed unnoticed, and the weight of the truth lies on me.
