he was a gemstone in a pile of ashes

**this is a poem i found in my old journal from a few years ago**

I've never really thought I could fall in love,
Especially with somebody whom I do not know.
It's almost like it is a sign from above,
That there's somebody who won't make me feel low.

I've never really thought I could be rendered speechless,
That was until I saw your first glance.
And my thoughts left me sleepless,
Saying to myself, "I hope I have a chance."

My life burnt down and I'm trudging through ash.
All due to trying to feel less alone.
Whispering to the world to help me forget about my past,
The ash blew away and I saw a gemstone.

It's hard just to love without saying a word,
I'm not sure what to say.
My mind just gets blurred,
So I just stay away.

I didn't realize until now that the gemstone was you,
But I saw the same sparkle when I looked in your eyes.
Your eyes and the gemstone were both the same blue,
But even though you could save me I'm still way too shy.

In love with you I'll stay,
Though I wish I could explain.
I'll never know what to say,
You'll never know I'm in pain.

Without effort you saved me twice,
There was a day I put down my pistol.
I was going to end my life,
But I thought of my crystal.
