Soul Scraping Scratches

I giggled like a girl awestruck

You are so damn beautiful

I had butterflies when you smiled

I felt like I never had a chance at your heart

And maybe because you had sense

Or maybe because you were prettier than me

Maybe both but that’s okay

You were so lovely I reverted back to my teens

Where my lust drove my actions

And my heart lacked all reason

It wasn’t just your smile that kept me guessing

It was your hands and eyes

It was your arms and hopes

And it was the way I felt secure overnight

I forgot I was out of your league

You were out of mine

We are in different leagues

I promise, beautiful woman,

To remember just that.

You are beautiful.

You are worthy.

You are a mindful, giving,

Brilliant human

Capable of doing hard things.

You are a creative, honest,

Introspective being

Able to move others to kindness.

You are unique.

You were created for love.

I will love you, Beautiful,
