I never used to believe in love.

I thought it was a fairy tale.

Created to amuse children and

Foolish romantics.

I never took it seriously.

And that's how I lived.

Not caring who was in my way,

Not caring whose heart I broke,

Not caring.

Until now.

When I first saw her,

I felt something deep inside of me.

I don't know if it was love,

But there was something,

Something I had never felt before.

The way her emerald eyes locked mine,

It was as though she could see,

Through me, to my soul.

And for a second I felt…

Complete.

But who am I trying to fool?

What could she see in me?

I'm nothing, nobody.

She's just beyond my reach,

No matter how hard I stretch.

And now I don't know what to believe.

All I know is,

I don't want to be alone anymore
