Digging up buried memories

I just had a very blah conversation awhile ago. It made me remember things. It also made me want to dig up some buried memories.

Just like this poem.

LOVE

I love your smile, it makes my day.
A burning feeling deep in my heart
Passionately listening to your stories,
Deeply taking note of anything you say,
For every moment with you is like heaven.
I love you when you’re sad
Gaining the chance to comfort you;
When you’re happy,
Because it makes me happy too.
I love you when troubles are ahead.
I will be your most trusted shield
Defending you from life’s dilemmas
I will be your everlasting shadow
Guiding your every move
And like the wind,
I will whisper to you softly
Reminding you that you are never alone.
The heart shows when it cannot hold the love within itself anymore.
And when I look into your eyes,
This is exactly what happens.
Even if it was just a glimpse,
I knew that you were the one for me.
Don’t ever think I never looked at you,
But the fear of rejection took over;
I would rather look at you for a thousand years and be unnoticed
Than talk to you and be cast off.
I do wish you are crying,
For with tears you show me that you are touched,
And nothing else could satisfy this urge to go on.


I doubt the person who wrote this for me even remembers that he wrote it. And if he does, he probably regrets it. Especially now that I've put it up for the entire world to see :P

This poem wasn't actually written as is. It was a series of little encouraging messages that the person sent me when I was sad. In one of our later conversations he sent me a word file with all of them compiled to form this beautiful but rather incoherent poem.

I'd say that it's the thought that counts, but in this case there mustn't have been much thought put into it in the first place.

Idunno.

It's sad how you can be so close to a person one day and so far away the next. This poem dates back to circa 2006-2007 if I'm not mistaken. :P I haven't talked to the guy since.
