ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Crushed inside

The day, we shared a walk together,

I knew, I had fallen in love.

You were good,

You were kind.

You were understanding,

The breed hard to find.

After that, we shared stories,

We laughed,

We cried,

We played in the sunshine,

And counted stars in the night.

Then I decided to let you know,

About what I feel for you.

I told you I liked you,

Much more than you heard in those words.

And then you laughed at me and said,

"Seriously? Don't tell me you are serious."

And I replied,

"No! obviously not."

But I was crushed inside.
