every time

I look at you

talk to you

think of you

I feel so special

because you make me laugh

make me smile

make me forget what the hell was wrong

just because

because I found you

when nothing was right

and I felt like dying

when he had ripped me apart

left my heart out to dry

broken and bruised

seemingly unrepairable

but little by little

bit by bit

my heart was repaired

by your careful, tender words

that you didn't even mean to say

didn't mean

to make me fall for you instead

and now you don't even know

that you are so much more to me

than a hero shielded in gold

an angel wrapped in silver

or a friend a friendship

never told
