Disclaimer – I do not own or profit from Ed, Edd N Eddy.  Rated PG-13 just cuz it's very slash and the administration for ff.net scares me witless.  There is absolutely no objectionable content in this poem.

Author's Note – A poem from Edd to Eddy.  Just to avoid any confusion...  Also, the title is kind of a play on the Tori Amos song (which I also don't own or profit from) "A Sorta Fairytale".  A beautiful song that I highly recommend.  Also kind of a play on a fan fiction story (not mine, either) called "The Sweetness" by darthelwig.  It rocks, and so does she.  Not that I'd ever tell her so...

Anyway, enjoy.  Peace, all.

A Sorta Sweetness

by Eddward

-------

And it wasn't really anything you ever did or ever said

It was never anything I could name so you could dread

It was just the little things all piling up

A sorta sweetness to you that I could really love

-------

And it was never the sort of thing I could explain at all

There was just something about you that made me fall

But I don't want you to think that this was your fault

It was just your sorta sweetness that tore down my walls

-------

And I never would've told you except that I can't lie

Now I sit here wondering if my tears will ever dry

And I know you feel guilty because you made me cry

It's your sorta sweetness that will never be mine

-------

And it isn't really something that I want to talk about

It takes too much energy just to get the words out

And it isn't really something you should concern yourself with

Your sorta sweetness heals me and I'll be fine in a bit

-------

And you don't have to say anything to me

I always knew that what I wanted could never be

So please don't look at me with your eyes so big and bright

When you do not even your sorta sweetness can get me through the night

-------

And it's easier to live with this secret not inside

At least now I don't have to bother trying to hide

So when I see you kissing her I can just let go

And not pretend losing your sorta sweetness won't make me lose my glow

-------

And it's not something I ever thought our friend would understand

But he's here now, holding me, holding just my hand

And it's enough to just not be the only one alone

Even if your sorta sweetness keeps me from letting go

-------

And I miss you every night and I miss you every day

I miss you every time I kneel beside my bed to pray

But you're happy and that's all I could ever ask for

So I'll let your sorta sweetness walk out my door
