"you are fascinating."
I looked in the mirror
and saw a naive girl
I didn't find it like you.
but what you said was new
and I floated on your words, on cue
I have never liked compliments
when they are thousand biting needles
raising the hair on my arms.
you never gave me one
and my heart knew a thing none
but always cherished a smile, like you gave me the sun
I never let the light fade
I never let the warmth cool
I carried it in my heart
where every dream was a river
and every drop made me shiver
as my heart in the end, was always the giver
I forgive you.
