Felt

You cried
And I don't think I've ever felt
My heart clench quite like that.
I don't think I've ever felt
So scared in my entire life.
Suddenly I felt so pathetic,
So evil.
I couldn't breathe.

I knew I had hurt you somehow.
You-
Whose very presence makes me smile.
The thought of whom makes me happy.
I couldn't believe that I had made you cry.
I would rather die than do that.

And then you told me why,
And I don't think I've ever felt
So special.
I don't think I've ever felt
So beautiful
As I felt then,
In your eyes.
