Dreams that Never Came

Meeting you for the first time,

Was like fate come to life.
Looking into your eyes,
Was the only time I ever felt seen.
Your silence,
Felt like home. 
I didn’t have to try
To be understood. 
My feelings were like 
Words you’d never heard before. 
Touching me,
Was like the most serious thing to you. 
So serious, 
It sent shivers down my spine. 
Kissing you for the first time,
Was like darkness,
So no one else could see.
Something only meant for us, 
The start of something new. 
You were staying up late,
Because I never had anyone,
To talk to before. 
It was eye contact, whispers, 
And things just between us. 
It was a best friend, 
When I didn’t even know I needed one. 
It was deciding, 
That we were the only thing that mattered. 
It was saving a life, 
No one else knew needed saving. 
But you knew everything,
Without trying. 
You were everything,
To someone just hoping to die.
