...it was always you...
Even when I pretended it was not.
Even when I counted the miles between us.
Even when I thought it was impossible.
Even when I turned away from it and told myself I could find someone to take your place.
Even when someone else lay beside me in the dark.
Even when I turned away from them.
Even when I heard you had found somebody new.
Even when I lay alone and cold and dreamed of your face.
Even when your heart was broken.
Even when my heart was too.
Even when I thought you would be lost forever.
Even when I prayed for another chance.
Even when I learned that the hardest person to be honest with...
...is yourself.
