 ^{(it's beta!)}

It was you. It was always you, had always been you, would always be you. But I never knew. Was too blind to realize, that everything I'd ever wanted or had ever held dear was all kept safely in the guarded depths of your eyes. "My love for you ends when the final rose petal falls." But is that all? Do you truly love me no longer? Will not linger a while, and bless me once more with your beautiful smile? The smile I always took for granted. Along with the shoulder to cry on, the embraces to comfort, and the heart that was freely given me. Why didn't I see? How could I not, when you are so precious to me? Why is it that I only now realize what I lost, long after you've gone? A friend. A lover. And so much more... I've lost them all, and all what for? My ignorance? My pride? Why couldn't I have only tried? Tried to understand the looks, the longing in your eyes? Tried to understand why, why you treated me as a prize? Tried to understand that you protected me, that you never told me lies? And the truth of it is... In this tragic love story of you and I, I wish that I had been the one to die.
