Loved

yes, I loved you
not like I wanted to own you
but I did, in my own little ways

I did not stare at you
nor did I hold you
will never ever tell you this
But, I loved you in all the ways

I have loved you so much
that u will be the last one to know
truth, i did not know till last stretch
untill 4 seasons passed in a blow

one morning, a blue jay flew 
and i saw his eyes, just like your's
staring at me and turned away,
disvalidating, just like you
and that was the moment, I knew

i turned to the morning,
when i was walking back
i heard a honk to attract
it was you, i know for a fact

you loved me too,
in your own little ways..
And I know you will never say
but knowing this, that love stays
is enough for today
