in the hours we shared
you gave me a
renaissance
my heart was alive
also scared - so scared
you don't realize what
you have done
you knew you had
nothing to offer
as did i, and i accepted,
sacrificed
just to share that moment
with you - if just once

now i dread sharing time
with you
seeing your face
fills me with false hope
that's all it was for you -
false
i knew it
but it was worth it

you are amazing
