he found her

He found her fascinating
how she ducked her head down
and pretended to listen
while she was lost in her
thoughts
a make-believe world
where everything was
alright
He found her cute
when she tucked her hair
behind her ear and
blushed at simple
compliments
He found her strong
when she fought against
her demons and came
with a smile on her face
how she fought against
her tears thinking
that they were a sign of
weakness but he
wanted to let her know
that he would stay by her
side, protecting her
for a long time but
he never spoke out loud 
because he thought
that she would
find him insufferable

She looked at him
and wondered how a boy so
wonderful could exist
in a world which wasn't
She  found him adorable
when she saw him
looking away when his eyes
meet her
How he would write her
anonymous
notes every morning but she
always knew that it was him.
She found him beautiful
because he was kind,
sweet and gentle
in a world which wasn't.

She found a home in him

while he found her.
