I wanted you.

I wanted you to see my heart.

I wanted you to see through why useless words.

I wanted you to see my love.

I wanted you to see what I had to offer.

I wanted you to see that I wasn't going to just leave you like the others.

I wanted you to see what your spell had done to me.

I wanted you to see that I could never just "up and leave."

I wanted you.

I wanted you to know that no matter what was said, I would never take anything to heart.

Nevermind, I did.

I took a lot to heart but it was only because I thought every word you said was pure gold.

Not filled with venom...

I thought that maybe... just maybe... you'd mean it.

I wanted you to know that I loved you with everything I could give from my dainty heart..

My heart is shattered..

I'm broken..

Torn in two...

I thought you could handle me.

I thought you could put the pieces back together and that's why I wanted you to...

I thought that maybe you'd see past my tiny smile and just hug me and tell me you loved me...

But you never did.

Maybe... I was too good at it...

I wanted you to see that I wasn't giving up.

I wanted you to see that I wasn't giving up on us, on you, or on myself..

I couldn't.

I wanted you.

I wanted you to know me like the back of your hand.

I wanted you to be able to spit out facts about me on the spot.

I wanted you to say the things that you felt scared to say...

I wanted you to know me.. for me.

I wanted you to be able to understand my slight shrugs and my non-tight hugs.

I wanted you to see that I wasn't happy with myself.

I wanted you to see that I've been waiting hand and foot for your move.

I wanted you to take a walk in my shoes.

I wanted you to love me the way that I loved you...

Oh my God... I just wanted you.

Even after everything that happened.

I wanted you...
