Sometimes I feel,
You should see yourself
the way I see you.
You will see,
When I tell you that you are amazing.
The voice in your head
will only echo in agreement.
You will see,
You are not your shortcomings.
Those imperfections
you believe to be glaring,
are unnoticeable to me.
You are not the flaws that you point out,
You are not the mistakes,
That you have made in the past,
You are not the pain or hurt,
That you have undergone.
You will see,
How I respect and appreciate,
your journey full of courage and bravery.
Thus, it is so difficult for me,
to hear you speak of yourself with resentment.
You undermine the bridges you rebuilt,
while I am in awe of the world
you created from nothing.
You will see and understand,
how much you mean to me.
You will realize how colourless my life would be,
if you would not be in it.
You will see,
Even when my sky gets dark,
you shine like the Moon in it,
making it bright.
I would choose to be in the rain with you,
over being with anyone else, in sunlight.
You will see,
You are the one
I have loved, above everyone.
And that, I do not wish to live a single day,
without you.
I know it is difficult to let go and unlearn,
all the things this world has convinced you of,
since the early times,
As though they were worthy of you.
You will see,
And might wonder and admire,
giving the whole credit to the way I perceive you,
But I will never give up,
On pointing out every star that I see in you,
until the dark blue night skies you carry,
get sparkling with light all through.
You will see,
I will always keep showering you,
with the soft petals of the words,
offering the reverences
through my poems,
Until the voice in your head
believes what I know is true.
And even if it is too often,
I will continue to say as I always do,
You are my beautiful
and for ever and forever
I love you…
