Gemstone

 You expect me to discard you,

Because others have stepped away.

You expect me to look passed you,

Like a better option on the shelf below.

That's why you hide everything, 

Because everyone who looked, didn't see anything they wanted.

You keep checking the clock,

Because everyone said your time is up.

And you keep expecting me to find better, 

Because everyone made you feel you're not good enough.

But if you saw how I see you,

You'd know you are a more precious than anything in my life.

If you saw how you made me feel,

You'd know you're the only one for me.

If you saw my mind when I kiss you,

You'd know that I want everything about you.

If you knew how deep my love grows,

You would beg the gods to live forever.

If you knew why my hands never tire of you,

You would know that as you are, you are enough for me.

No one saw your gemstone, 

because it wasn't meant for them.

No matter how they looked,

No matter how much you offered it,

They would never see it.

It isn't something in you.... it's you.

It isn't a piece of you... it's all of you.

The prism of you has to be taken as whole.

I see my gemstone

I see you.
