showing you my heart
Cut from different cloth
One of cocoa, sunbathed skin
One of snowy ivory
One of almond eyes
One of spheres
I don’t know how to phrase things
That aren’t meant to be phrased
Feelings that are too hard to capture
With any inked-in word from a dictionary
I think we both find each other confusing
And we both annoy each other to death
But there’s one thing I know
No matter what I will always love you
I will always care for you
And, too, nag at you
Because you are a true gift in my life
Even if I may not show it all the time
I have to work on
Showing you my heart
Because you are much too precious
For me to rely on sudden realization
That may never come to you
If I do not express it vibrantly
Two pieces of cloth that are so wildly unique from one another
Still destined to be sewn together
Into the tapestry of our lives
