From Me To You

I don't even know how to start because every time I try to write you my hands shake, Like they know this means something Like you're not just someone you're my safe haven I remember the day when i finally sat across you not through a screen, not in my head but really there Close enough to touch your face to hear the softness in your voice when you said my name like I'm all you ever wanted I looked at your hands first then your eyes and then looked away I was terrified you’d see everything everything I’ve tried so hard to keep hidden And maybe you did yes you did God, i felt your eyes reading me like i was your favourite poem Even though i was written in a messy raw, honest way you didnt flinch, didnt blink you didn't look away and I swear something in me cracked open But not from pain but from this aching warmth I didnt know I needed until you gave it to me I dont know how you do it How you handle me so gently like a little carelessness and I'll break completely I dont know how you understand me without needing any explaining How you reach parts of me even i stopped trying to touch I dont know how you can see me like I’m not broken, just layered Like you were not scared of my depth you wanted to swim in all of it Like i wasn’t the storm you wanted to escape I was the rain you wanted to dance in Like i was the ocean you'd drown in if it meant you’d get to know me Like i wasn't too much or too less I was just enough And God, i wish i could tell you what you do to me How i wish I could hide in your chest and tell you how much you mean to me how you make me feel safe You’re everything I wished for You’re the calm in my chaos gentle in a world that makes me feel like I have to be less But with you? I want to be everything because you let me Because i know despite it all you'll still adore me You're not only someone i love you're someone i feel Deep in my ribs in the softest parts of me I never let anyone see But i couldnt tell you I couldn't even utter a word I took a deep breath and looked you in the eyes But I got shy, I forgot what to say I just looked at you with feelings hoping my eyes would convey But you were already staring And God, i was so wrecked Oh, i swear the world could've stopped right there and I wouldnt need a single other thing But your eyes on me I dont know if i deserve it, Its hard to believe that the epitome of perfection can love a broken mess But when you look at me with those eyes I feel like art like a masterpiece itself
