"Don't tell me the sky is the limit, when there are footsteps on the moon."


If only you knew ,
the way I smile at your texts,
the way I stutter because I don't know what to say next,
the way I fall in love with your smile,
over and over again,
if only you knew.

If only you knew,
the way I feel when you look at me,
the way I feel when you hug me tightly,
the way my heart beats,
when you speak to me,
if only you knew.

If only you knew,
that the way you laugh drives me crazy,
that your imperfections are perfect to me,
the feeling in my stomach,
like a billion butterflies,
when you say my name.
If only you knew,
how much I love you.


The author's comments:
The main thing that inspired me to write this poem was love. Love for someone who didn't love me. That person helped me become the person I am today, even if it hurt at the time. But now, I am with someone who I love, and who loves me. I am happy.

"Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I'm already better than them."

I love this! I can connect very easily. I tryed writting something along these lines and it defenitly did not turn out as good. Keep up the great writting.
