In you I sought the truth,
A false sense of belonging,
Something I never had,
A beating heart worth feeling love
In you I saw the world,
Not from a parallel distance,
From an unorthodox closeness,
Yet you were too far to reach
In you I saw pain,
A companion like me,
Hoping for something better,
I just wasn't in your plan
In you I saw a fire,
A glowing red ember,
Waiting to be sparked,
But it fizzles
Because in me,
You never trusted,
Never invested time,
Just ran away frightened
In me you couldn't see,
That I covered infinite distance,
Closing the gap to your heart,
Ready to give my all
In me you saw the pain,
But was too afraid to love,
Knowing that I could reverse,
That false feeling of loneliness
In me you saw a life,
A brightly lit sky,
Illuminated by stars,
All yours for the taking
Knowing that what I saw in you,
You saw in me,
Two broken hearts,
Aching to love one another
All I ever needed,
Was for you to believe,
That you had what it took,
All along in you.
