Unanswerable, Because You'Re Gone

i know your beauty,
because i have seen your ugliness.
i know you're good,
because i have seen your darkness.
i know you're humble,
because i have seen your pride.
i know you're smart,
because i have seen you act dumb
i know you're strong,
because i have seen you fail.
i know your soul,
because you showed me your heart.
if i let you see my darkness,
will you think i am good?
if i show you my ugliness,
will you see my beauty?
if i show you my pride,
would you know i am humble?
if you saw me act dumb,
would you believe i am smart?
if you saw me fail,
would you think i am strong?
if i showed you my heart,
would you stay?

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
