i want him to see

the sparkle in my eyes

like he sees

the stars in the sky

 

i want the sound

of my voice

to be like music

in his ears

 

i want him to see

the smile on my face

like the light

at the end of the darkness

 

i want the beat

of my heart

to echo in his mind

when i'm nowhere near

 

i want him to see

me, all of me

like the best thing

that could've ever

 

happened.
