I Won

It just could never be.

The thought of you and me together
would never become more than what it was,
a thought.

But I didn't care.

I would clandestinely love the thought of you in my mind,
because to me I'd never find someone more wonderful and rare.

You were small but your presence was vast.

I felt like a whisper in a room of shouts, how could I ever last?

I think you thought I hated you,
I never even smiled at you
I'd lock myself away from you
Then rue myself for hiding.

I knew you liked me
But that was allowed,
You were younger than me by five years.

Just a little girl's crush.

But I couldn't like you in return because that would be wrong.
I did like you in return.
I liked you more than you ever knew. I liked you more than I even knew.
What would you do if I told you?

But I couldn't show the courage that you did.
I would whisper "You are beautiful Katie"
In a voice that only I could hear,
For fear of what would happen
if those words would reach your ear.

You unwittingly filled me with dread
when you would come to the house
but I looked forward to seeing you every time because secretly I loved you.

And you would bat your eyes at me and coyly say HI.
