Could Have

I could have loved you.
All the dark bits and pieces you keep hidden from the world.
Maybe not in the way you wanted me to.
But I could have.
The calm to your storm, your yellow. 
The way you needed to be loved.
And although you viciously abhor me right now..
One day, you’ll see..
that I could have loved you.
The dark bits
The dark pieces.
Everything you keep concealed from a world that doesn’t understand who you are.
