Untitled

your beauty astounds me

everytime you enter a room

my breath is stolen away again

you thief of my heart

how I pray you never 

give it back

in the background I stay

waiting for my moment

you see me

but don't

I know you think I'm just another

thoughtless airhead who doesn't

give a damn

but I know what goes on 

under that sweet smile

I know how your heart

aches every day

how you smile through every 

heartbreak

how you laugh through every

inner sob

beauty through pain

strength through hardship

I'll love you 

no matter what

and always hold you close

in my heart
