A year ago you took a blurry photo of me from the passenger seat of my car

You stated "this is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen"

That was one of the first things you said to me that made me fall in love with you

Madly and deeply in love.

We were in your bed and you said

"Tell me something that nobody knows"

So I did.

I shared with you my past

I revealed to you my worst fears

I was as open and vulnerable as any human could be.

You took my hands in yours,

You said you were glad those other boys ruined their chances with me

Because that means we get to be together

Those boys were looking for treasure but didn't look hard enough

You said I was your treasure

I was your diamond.

When I loved you,

You set a fire inside of my heart that kept me warm.

It burned brightly

And you added kindle with every compliment you paid to me.

When you left

You stomped the fire out.

Leaving me in the dark

In the cold

In the smoke.

You told me that your favorite color was green

Like my eyes.

And before I looked into yours,

My favorite color was blue.
