Mirror

You think you're not good enough
But you're perfect to me 
Perfect for me
You make my heart happy
In a way they no one else does
I wish that you could see yourself through my eyes 
I'm not the only one with a big heart
To me, you are amazing 
The boy you are and the man you will be 
The light and love that dances in your eyes
The sound of your laughter
How you care for your friends and family
How much their opinions matter to you 
You just want to be loved 
But yet...
You say you're not ready...
And though it breaks my heart
I get it
You're scared
Scared of something real
Of something magical
Of this amazing thing that we could have
And if you never give us a chance you'll never screw it up
But you screw it up by never giving us a chance
What is ready?
What does it mean to be ready? 
You can't wrap your head around 
Love
A truly overwhelming unconditional love
A woman that would give you everything 
and only asks for one thing in return
That chance to be your one and only 
The chance to give it all to you
As you say, 'we sexy as f**k'
Instead we both suffer
Missing each other
This forced wall between us
The magnets fighting to return 
To each other 
As I fight to stay
You fight to build the wall higher
To "protect me"
But you're really protecting yourself
From a chance at love
From something that could be amazing
It doesn't protect me from the pain
It makes it hurt more
Love isn't pain
it is not being loved back
It is love rejected that is pain
This is what hurts
And nothing can protect from that
