"noticed."
i never noticed how beautiful your
face was while you slept
your eyelashes fluttering like butterflies
i never noticed how strong your hands were
rubbing the soreness from my shoulders
a good friend taking away my aches
and i never noticed how good your arms felt
around me holding me close, my head casually nestled on your chest
you never noticed how i
started to hold on a bit longer
grasping for that friendly hug
and wishing it was a lovers embrace
you never noticed the tears
in my eyes then when you mentioned
someone new in
your life
your life lived without me
and you never noticed how i
adored you
hung on your every word and
ached for your touch to mean
something...
anything.
i never noticed till it was too
late
and then you never noticed
at all
