After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you
After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same
Once, I despised you, I hated you. I couldn't stand that you were here, with your nonsense and lack of clarity. You were odd; different than everyone else, you made an easy target.
But all that changed. You should know; you were there.
That day I learned, much to my dismay, that you were nothing like the person you pretended to be. And how could I know what I felt then? I knew what I felt for the regular you, but this new imposter?
It was as though you had hidden behind the nonsense to keep your feelings from me, knowing that I'd never probe deeper, to find the hidden meaning that was there, all along.
And for that, I am grateful.
I learned from you a precious thing, that day- how to love.
And for that- well, I love you.
