If You See What I See

Seeing him through my eyes.

You'd understand

Why I love you

If you'd only see

What I see

 

If you saw

How handsome you are

To me

It'll be our dirty (precious) little secret

 

If you saw

How much I know

You have to offer

You'd believe you can do it

 

If you saw

How hurt you've been

You'd know why

My heart breaks when I look at you

 

If you saw

How much I want you

You'd probably

Run away

 

Especially

All

The dirty, precious, passionate things

We do together

 

If you saw

What I think

You think

of me

 

Twenty bucks says that you'd agree.

I can very much relate to this poem.
My bf doesnt understand and yes probably
never will understand why i still stand next to him.
There are times where you must stick by someone
because you want to prove to them that they
are special in every way possible.
Thanks for sharing this piece, its wonderful.

Best wishes.

ah, this is great.. it's wry and amusing and kind of sad in a jumbled, scrambled manner.. it kind of makes me twist and turns with all the you knows and he thinks and you thinks and thoughts, and that adds to its charm. it's a great poem because it just puts itself out there and doesn't say look at me, but it's fun to look at when one does look at it. high marks, stef, high marks.

I totally adore this poem. The last line made me smile.
It's really interesting how we see the wonderful things about the people that we love, yet they can never see those things, or even understand how we can feel so strongly -- they feel so undeserving. That's what I'm getting from this. Your faith in him is touching. And I think that's what we're brought into each other's lives for; to attach the value to the person we are through another.
Anywho, I loved it. Great write as always! :)
