1. "I want to make you smile."

Everyday, he sees her, and her smile just lights up his day.

He has no words to describe how beautiful it can be.

He wants to be the reason she's happy, he wants to be that reason and that reason alone.

Oh if only she knew, if only she he was right in front of her,

He had jokes, he had compliments, he had it all.

All he wanted to do, was make her smile.

2. "You mean everything to me."

As her body contracts while she drowns in her tears,

As she feels the darkness closing in on her,

He holds her. Close. Oh so very close.

Like he was protecting her.

Protecting her from herself.

She felt nothing, her hands cold, her mind dark, but her heart full of joy.

But that heart had nothing for her.

But his did.

From day one, he would give her something,

A light, a light that shined so bright that she would be able to light the pathway out of hell

And escape.

She meant everything to him,

Because she showed him a reason to smile.

A reason to wake in the morning.

A reason....

A reason that not even the greatest philosophers could understand.

3. "I love you....."

Her eyes

Her smile

Her laugh

Her hair

Her mind

Her heart

Her.....

He loves it all. All of her.

He loves everything she hates about herself.

He wants to show it

He wants to say it

......

But he can't....

His mouth stayed closed

Chained shut to the fear of rejection

Blocked by feeling of going to fast

Afraid....

Afraid of losing her
