Why I love You

I saw him the other day.
I spoke to him..
Heard his voice..
I even looked into his eyes.
I havent been able to do that
In such a long time.
It didnt hurt..
I didnt cry..
I just dont know why.
He didnt make me feel ashamed
For three years..
I have watched him in the halls..
Seen him with everyone else..
I wondered if he had forgotten about me..
I wondered if any of his friends knew about me..
If they knew anything.
I wondered if he saw me..
or if he ignored everything I am..
and everything I was.
I cried myself to sleep for a year straight..
The hurting never stopped.
Everyday I woke up with his knife threw my chest..
and the worst part was..
I stabbed myself.
I was my fault..
and it still is.
I could never face him..
I couldnt meet his eyes.
But this time I looked him square in the eye.
I gave him his knife back.
He could make me feel so alone..
so horrible..
So ashamed.
He made me feel ashamed of myself.
But this time I wasnt alone.
I wasnt ashamed..
I was me.
You did that for me.
You helped me.
I felt like I wasnt alone..
I wasnt ashamed of who I was..
I wasnt too terrible to face him..
Because of you.
I felt like I was ok..
I wasnt that bad of a person.
Yes, I've made mistakes..
But you love me any way.
Knowing that..
I looked him in the eye..
smiled..and walked away.
....And I wondered why I love you.
