If you only knew,
That you are not what you say.
If only I can have you see,
How beautiful you are in every way.

If you only knew,
The reason you are such a mess.
Is not because you are alone,
But because you settle for less.

If only you can see,
What I can see in yourself.
The true dark image,
Of what I see in myself.

Why do you think such things?
Till this day I don't know.
Why do you think you are alone?
When love surrounds your soul.

If only you can see,
If only you could know.
That all the darkness that lies within,
Is only but a faint little glow.

If only you could see,
That within every breath I make,
Your body, soul and heart,
Is what I desire to take.

If only with one breath,
One kiss, and you will be mine.
If only I can have your love,
From now, until the end of time.

Author's Note: This poem is about someone who I think is very special, but does not realize it. Beauty comes in many forms, and as individuals we get caught up in many shallow mindsets, but in all honesty, if this person only knew, that I am willing to prove it. :) Hope you all enjoy, and grammar isn't perfect but I would love feedback on rewording certain things, it just came to me as of recent events so I didn't want to lose the inspiration.
