You Stayed

It was always you.

How could I not see this before? How could I be so blind?

It was you. It was always you.

You were the one to come back to me. You were the one who never let go.

You always came back.

It's no shakespeare tragedy of unreciprocated, forbidden love.

This, you, it's all true.

Why didn't I see this before? How could I not notice you?

Oh, what a fool I've been!

I see you.
I'm so sorry it took me so long.
I am so, very sorry.

I can see you. I can finally see you. All of you.

You are so beautiful.

You were never the one who got away.

Even when I pushed you away, you stayed by my side. You sat with me in the silence, until I could speak again.

You cried for me in the rain, even when I was not there.

And even when I left you, oh especially when I left you,
You held on to my existence even with no sure hope that I would come back.

You never let me me go.

No matter what I did, no matter how many times I hurt you,
You were there, always there.

Even now.

After all these years, I can finally see you, and now I can mean it when I say:

I love you, too.
