you taught me how to love you,
it didn't take that long.
you taught that each and every note
made magic of a song.
you taught me how to see myself,
the way the whole world does.
you told me that you'd love me
till forever, just because.
when you looked into my eyes,
you taught me how to see.
you dug deep inside my heart
to release the unseen me.
to save embarrassment,
you taught me what to say and do.
you taught me how to hide while
the spotlight shone down on you.
when you said you cared so much,
you taught my heart to fly.
then, when you walked out of my life,
you taught my heart to die.
