That's All I Have to Say by TwilightSong
His Thoughts
When it happened I cannot say. . .
But one day, when you looked upon me,
I felt an unknown warmth.
Could it be that you cared,
Despite the world having turned its back?
I don't know how that could be,
Or what you see. . . .
Still,
Your eyes hold untold promises of affection.
And, given time, you could make me happy. . .
Transforming my pitiful existence into perfection. . .
Because, you are everything I have ever wanted,
And even then some, I'd say.
But your presence renders my tongue as clay,
And pride keeps my heart at bay.
So I keep up my affront,
Despising it as I may,
Because I don't know how to love you. . .
Even though you tried to show me the way.
