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).
