Not The Way I Did

She never appreciated him.

Not the way i did.

She never so much as glanced

at him

unless she had to.

But i was always there.

watching in the shadows,

waiting,

wondering.

wondering how someone could go to

such lengths to show their

love to someone,

knowing that their efforts

fall on blind eyes.

But i still love him

as he still loves her,

while she stills love that which

will never love her.

little kisses on the cheek

from a playful boy

to a girl that's meek.

they were happy

and played in the creek

they went for a swim

in the small little stream.

but he didn't know

that she couldn't swim.

he grabbed her hand

and pulled her in.

she started to scream,

started to drown.

but they were far in the forest

with nobody around.

he tried his best

to save her in time.

but it wasn't enough

and she lost her life.

\that was the last time

he saw his true love.

and the pain of her death

was never enough.
