a letter from a person i used to love

you looked at me like you loved me,
like i was more than the pain i have endured.
i don't understand why.
it's all i've grown to become.
you look through the me that was deemed insufferable,
with adoration?

Why?

the window you broke through to get to me made me realize
there's another kind of love i've never known.

Not the one you'd kill for,
not the one you'd die for,
but the one you'd live for.

I hope you know that you're everything that makes the world whole.

- the one you saved
