To Think... Poem by Nuku Desmond

To think I have these memories for so many a day.
To think I ignored what was right in front of me.
To think I chased him
While you persued me.

You were always there
Ready to catch me when I fell
Your presence calmed and soothed me
Yet sent great sensations through my senses

To think I ignored you
To think I didn't stop when you asked for my hand
To think my feelings for you have grown
From that simple act of kindness
Of treating my wounds
From an unrequited love
While I never returned yours until now.

Thank you for all that you've done
To think that you could love
A creature such as me...
