Was It True

Was it true?
Did you know
that I lived
with a glow,
that each day
was a loss
I had found.

Could you see
in my eyes
sparks of joy
and surprise
when we talked,
when I saw
you around.

Did you know
that I thought
like a bird
that was caught,
that I felt
like a sun
that was hid.

Maybe yes.
Maybe no.
Maybe you
did not know,
But I knew
I loved you,
when I did.
