alive

i’ll never forget
the way

i felt alive
with every word i spoke
to you
the will i felt
to wake up
just to see you
hear you
feel you

i opened up to you
and dove into
the deepest depths
of myself
and pulled out little pieces
to show you
that no one else
saw

you made me
feel special
for the first time
in my young life
unlike anyone else
ever had

i should have known
better
than to feel alive
just because
of you

as quickly as you entered
my life
you left
just as fast
and i wont ever know
of someone
quite like you
ever again
