I think the first time I saw you, something in my heart knew you were special. My eyes were drawn to you the times when you were the most honest: when you were on the phone (with your mom or your sister or your girlfriend), or doing your homework (due at 8 am) at three in the morning the day it was due. I knew there was something different about you, but I didn't know what it was until the first night, when everyone else was asleep, and I was sitting at my desk on the Internet. You sat next to me, and you looked at me like you wanted to know why I was hiding from everyone, so I told you. Not everything, but I told you the tips of the secrets that no one knows about me. I hinted about the scars I knew you'd noticed on my arms, and I let you begin see me in a way that no one else can.
And that's when I fell in love with you. Everyone else saw it from the moment we met. I guess there was something in the way I looked at you, or the way you looked at me. Whatever it was, I knew I needed to be with you. The months dragged on and you still weren't mine, and it killed you to see me cry, but I waited and it was worth it. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
