Better

Kinder than me, You are Unaware of your own power. Smarter Sweeter Faster, That too Is You & You & You. This plus more leads to, The opportunity To hate a rival's unknown charm. No solace for the self, This realization I helped your heart prepare to hold that other love. So much knowledge I have, but still Want to know you Better (and Better). Stronger than me, You are Living life in another's arms. Laughing Talking Loving. These are Shining shreds for my memory. But my chest never there, For you To lean against watching a story unfold. The smell of garlic given no chance, To glide Across a shared room awakening your senses. My hands don't get to create, A meal Over which you and two boys smile. Warmer than me, You are Tuned closer to the inner worlds of others. Decent Concerned Caring, That too Is You & You & You. Psychic strengths confounding things, At times Creating questions where none really exist. Pressure leads to pushback, A rare Sense of anger in the intensity of words. In the face of it still, This unquenched Desire to know you Better (and Better still). Sillier than me, You are Blessed with a quick burst of laughter. Goofy Funny Connected, Traits that Generate smiles warmth and memories. Humanity's breadth again captured, In you Brought to life on a daily basis. This unconscious part of you, Expressing an Exultation in this life infectious in nature. A smile whose dimensions of joy, Adds more To mundane moments than others do to times of ecstasy. Humbler than me, You are Unwilling to grasp your exceptionality. Achiever Engaged Dedicated, Also true That its You & You & You. Rejecting words professing these realities, Not apprehending The metamorphosis from the girl once in that skin. Now an uncommon woman, Wrestling with Your emotional potency, intellectual strength and physical beauty. All of which foment this Desire, Seeking chances To delight in any opportunity to know you Better (even Better).
