you were too busy
finding faults in me,
while i was too busy
looking for strengths in you.

as you criticized my imperfection,
i admired your perfection.
while you slowly got disappointed in me,
i eventually fell so deep for you.

we went the opposite directions:
you, fading away from me;
me, closing in on you.
closer, closer, closer.

then, you faded away
just when i made you my world.
you became my sole focus.
when i lost you, i lost me too.
