Too Good (Poem 13)

You were too good for me.
You saw it.
I denied it.

My eyes dilated.
My heart pounded.
My mind drifted.

You were too good for me.
You saw it.
I denied it.

I was in awe of you.
I saw a chance for happiness with you.
I saw an ever lasting fairy tale.

I dreamt of romance.
I dreamt of roses, diamonds and warm smiles.
I dreamt of a chance with you.

But I was the only one with these thoughts.
I was the only one who had hopes of us.
Now I see it could never have been.

You were too good for me.
You saw it.
I denied it.
