Sam...

To my first love, my best friend and the one who this poem is about. May we meet again...

He heard my cries

The ones I never screamed

 

He saw the tears

That never rolled down my cheek

 

He listened to my words

All the ones I never spoke

 

He never ever told me he cared

Or that he loved me

But I always knew

From the way he held me in his arms

And the sparkle in his eyes

 

I knew he was scared

So I held him close

While the rest of the world laughed

 

He acted like he didn’t need me

But I was never allowed to leave to prove he did

 

He didn’t know how to trust

So I trusted him

 

He couldn’t speak

So I questioned him

 

He felt he couldn’t love

So I hugged him

 

To the word he is a mistake

To me he is my world

 

He held me when I was shaking, so scared I wanted to crawl from my skin

He told me he was there and would never let me fall

He’s the only one who listened to what I didn’t say

He feels as I feel

I know him and he knows me

 

He heard my cries

He wiped my tears

Held my hand

Chased away my fears

 

He’ll never know how much he means to me

 

For it is a secret my heart kept

 

Only him and me…

This is beautiful. Really. I don't even know where to start. I love all your phrases about seeing,hearing and listening to things that haven't been let out. Your ideas are almost...abstract....Like putting images to things that aren't there. This is very heartfelt and lovely. Good work.
