How can you see yourself
as anything other
than the epitome
of beauty?
When you speak,
is there anything other
than wisdom
empathy
kindness?
Can everyone not perceive?
Have I been struck
with some lucky ability
to recognize true beauty
when it stands before me?
You wear your heart
on your sleeve
You do not hide
To be perfectly honest
this terrifies
and confuses me
It's something I could never do
I'm not as brave as you
And yet,
you are not naive
you understand people
you understand me
you see right through me
You are terrifying beauty
You are wisely proud
You are gently smart
What more
can I say?
