If you had let me tell you, you'd know I loved you with the burning ferocity of a thousand suns;

You'd know I'd have weathered any storm, scaled any mountain, all for the promise of seeing you smile;

If you asked me now, I'd tell you my heart still yearns to be reunited with yours;

I'd say my days are filled with missing you, my nights consumed by memories of you;

Yet, for all my affection, here you stand before me, the embodiment of indifference;

Eyes that once held oceans of love now sweep past me, the way one avoids gazing upon a rotting carcass;

You don't care enough to ask, and I don't have the courage to tell you;

So I'll sit here and hope that the next time I see you my heart doesn't skip a beat, that my stomach doesn't flutter, and my arms are indifferent to the thought of holding you...and maybe, just maybe, just for a moment, the love I feel for you won't parallel the force of a tsunami hitting the coast...
