To the One I Love

Look at yourself and tell me what you see Don't tell me something I know not to be true Hold the mirror that will show the beauty I see Your eyes of warmth that have been exposed to things unseeable Even some unspeakable Skin so soft and tender to the touch Fingers run across it and the smell of shae butter and cocoa butter rub off into the air A body that is so mesmerizing that I feel as if I'm looking at a goddess But I don't have to take a second glance You are the goddess I see Heart, face, eyes and soul are broken But I have the glue You have said that you were always ending up alone Well truth be told you never were You were just blinded by your past that you couldn't see what was in front of you Look now because here I am standing before you Tears fell on the ground but here I am to catch them before they even develop You were put here on this earth for a reason You have a destiny that's just yet to be put into light You have the obligation to live out this life Your soul will be restored but you have to look beyond your past The pain will heal when you open your heart to the ones who care You do have people who care Don't believe me then look in my eyes I love you with all my heart It took me some time to realise and come up with the words because love is a strong word Once said it can't be unsaid When I said it and say it I meant it My words are true Don't believe me then take a look in my eyes and tell me otherwise Still don't believe? Then I will just have to prove to you As time goes on you shall see that I am being real
