I love you.

Eyes of chalcedony
Lips of coral red
Your gentle tone of voice, resounding in my head
For those who deny such beauty surely must be blind
For everytime the sun shines
Your smile comes to mind.

For when the sky clouds over
The world is looking grey
My only wish is for your presence
To brighten up my day.

For you have the aspects longed for
By possibly every girl
Your skin a flawless complexion
Your hair a permenant curl.

For if one attempts to lead you to insecurity and self denial
Just know, I'll be there
At your side all the while.

For you're the one I must protect
For you deserve to live a life
Like the beauty you reflect.

For all poems of beauty and love written
Were prophecies from the past
For the human eyes in the modern day
Seek what you've surpassed.

But I'm aware
That mere poetry,
Or any art at that
Can not find words to express my feelings for you
So I'll state a simple fact
I love you
With my heart
Not the words I write or say
If only you would let me know
Whether your heart feels the same way.
