If only you had seen me, darling- truly seen me- Each time I stood before a hundred doubting eyes, Defending you, believing in you, telling them how magnificent you are, Without a moment’s hesitation, without a second thought. Oh, love, perhaps then you would understand Why my heart aches with quiet disappointment, Why you don’t meet the expectations I never once voiced. For when you come to me, it is not with the same unwavering faith, But with their words about me- And the answer you chose to give.
