You Will Never Know

You will never quite know
How much you impress me

You will never quite know
How much you move me

You'll never understand
Why I'm still in love

You're so cool and confident
Speak false pride and praise 

You act so tough and "manly"
But underneath I see you

You try to run and hide
Don't you know that hurts me?

I want you to come find me
Look for the diamond in me

Don't make me come find you
Please come find me

Look to know me, only truth
Nothing hidden, no lies

I want you to want me
I want you to draw me out

See me for the real new me
Love me for the one I've become

You see me as a child
Young, innocent, and still foolish

What could I possibly do or say
To show you I've changed those ways

I've waited it out for so long
How much longer will it hurt

Rejection is salt in a cut
You know how to pour it on

Do you see me still standing here?
Waiting for you to see me again

When will you appreciate me?
See what I've done for you in past

Never have I spoken ill
Forgiveness has been granted you

See me now and not her
She doesn't deserve the best...you

Can't you see that it's always been me
Always here always near

I'm not shy, I'm not quiet
I just don't want to bug you

You all happy is me forever happy
But the heart can hurt so bad

My heart hides for the fear
The fear of always rejection

You mean so much to me
And yet you'll never see it


You will never quite know
How much you impress me

You will never quite know
How much you move me

You'll never understand
Why I'm still in love

You will never know

Britt, I just wanted to thank you for every comment you've ever made! You are such an uplifting and joyful person and it makes me so happy when you comment such lovely things!
I used to write (especially poems) a lot but then fell into some dark times and couldn't find the energy or self-confidence to try again till last night. All my poems are first draft...I never re-edit them. Hearing a sweet comment like yours means a lot because I know that since you don't personally know me that you won't compliment it just to compliment it and make me feel good :) You are such a joy and I love following your blog and reading your comments here! God bless you!
