How can you not know me yet
That I love the very bones of you?
How could you let yourself forget
I’m here, whatever you go through
What can I do to show you
That you mean the world to me
Tell me what it takes to prove
What do you need, to set you free
Let me help you see my heart
So you can see you, as I do
Let me show you every part
So you can love those places too
Let me introduce you, to the feelings that you spark
So that you know beyond a doubt
That you forever, have my heart

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?

This was so sweet! Some people would forever have our heart!
Lovely!!! Magnificently written!!! Loving this line, "That you forever, have my heart."❤️❤️💕
Beautiful, couples need to see each other this way.
The "very bones" did it for me! That was beautiful!
This is such a beautiful poem, Kelli. Just a question. Is it possible that the intended within this poem is autistic? From personal experience I would tell you that, if they are, you would not only have to tell them plainly but also demonstrate it. If, however, they are simply typically male & oblivious, well..., good luck with that.
Beautiful. Loved the sentiment here - what do I have to do to show you I love you? Ironically, writing it down in a poem might be the answer.
