&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;

Beauty and the beast,
A tale so old,
A tale so well known.
Many can compare,
Few can ever relate.
But alas, I can do neither.

My love, girl of dreams,
And woman of perfection
Is not a beast,
Nor a helpless girl.

She is the one I care about,
Most of all.
I can see no other
In her place.
Without her, at the end of the tunnel,
There is no light.
Without her, in every cloud,
There is not a single silver lining.

She is everything to me,
She is my world.
And without her,
There is no I.
Without her,
There is no future.

This poem's inspiration comes from a girl I can't get my mind off of. Her name is Samantha.... she is the greatest.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
