If you knew the me

Who lives inside me,

You would love me,

I am sure.

You’d slap yourself

In the face,

For never noticing

My worth.

My eyes, would no longer,

Be brown, but golden life,

Glistening up at you,

With a smile as

Warm as

Sunlight.

The way I walk

The words I speak,

My hopes, my dreams,

Even my giggle.

Would suddenly

Become what

Made your heart

Race…..

Just a little.

But you never got

A chance to meet

The me who

lives inside me.

You only ever

Got to know

The external part

Of me.

But it’s okay,

It's best this way

For us,

To stay

Astray.

Although…

Just so you know,

If you knew the me

Who lives inside me.

I’m more than certain,

You would love me.
