I never thought I would fall in love with you.
I thought someday, of course, I would fall in love.
But what it felt like, I just never knew;
I had no idea what I was thinking of.
Then, somewhere between needs and pleasure,
I was neither too happy or sad,
I looked into my heart and saw a treasure
Worth more than anything I ever had.
Is this love? I thought. And then I wanted
To give you my life just to see your happiness,
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I was haunted,
By your love and joy; not knowing how you were so obsessed.
My love for you has brought another would of pain to me.
And yet the beauty in your heart has set me free.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
