The Way I See You

Something special happens

Every time I look

Every turn is a new page

But I'm not reading a book

Nope. Just observing you.

In a totally non-creepy way

Always making me laugh

With everything you say.

You told me that it's a big deal for you

To say yes to guys when they ask you out.

I am so honored.

Because I wouldn't be surprised if that's all that surrounded you.

You are a lot more beautiful than you think.

Really, you are.

I've never been so awe-struck

By a girl that looks as good as you and has a kind and genuine heart.

That's REALLY hard to find.

It's one of the hardest things I've done

Even though I didn't do much

I feel like I finally found someone worth it.

Because that's what it's all about

Finding someone who means so much to you after only knowing them for a short time

Because then you find yourself writing a poem 

And trying to find words that rhyme

And trying to find the words that coincide

With the feelings in your heart

Because that's what it means

And the heart is the best part

You see, the heart is a vital organ

And while this isn't biology

You don't need a textbook to tell you

That love isn't something you can see.

Or see coming for that matter.

Because "Everything happens for a reason"

Or maybe they don't.

And life isn't always pleasing

You know that. I know that.

There's always heartbreak involved

But the delicate heartstrings that you pull

Make me feel like a puppet and that the world revolves around you.

Falling in love is like doing a trust fall.

You trust that the person who is supposed to catch you will

And I'm not so sure if you're going to catch me, or even try

But I trust you still

You didn't tell me that it was hard for you to trust people

But you just don't trust people quickly and people have to work for it

Which I'm totally fine with because you're worth the time

And I'm not one who's easy to quit

Look, I'm not going to say I'm in love with you (because that would be crazy)

But I'm writing you a love poem. That's something.

You say the word though, all of this will stop

And dissolve into nothing

Because while I may be emotionally invested

Because your disease has infested me

I would throw it all away if you

Confessed that you didn't feel the same way.

Your happiness means a lot more to me

Than my happiness does

Because I. Care. About. You. And 

That's why I feel fuzzy when I think about you.

My heart has been ripped out and torn

Thrashed and stomped into the ground

And it feels like I'm riding a merry-go-round

But I'm willing to put it out there because for once I found that I could feel this way again.

You don't have to lie to me 

Or try to let me down easy

All that I'm really asking

Is that you really read this and you hear me

I have fallen in love with other girls

And I've told them that I've seen them in ways I've never seen someone else, because I do.

But believe me that I mean it when I say

I have never seen someone the way I see you.
