When I Look At You...

When I look at you I see someone
Strong and
Confident, yet
Fragile.
I see someone
Spontaneous and
Down to earth, someone
Adventurous.
I see someone who
Wonders if there's more,
Hopes this world isn't all there is, but is
Afraid to trust in something they can't see.
I see someone
Motherly and
Childish, someone
Compassionate and
Charming.
When I look at you I see someone
Witty and
Funny, someone who
Loves to laugh.
I see someone who
Doesn't just want to be told it's going to be okay, but who
Wants to be held in such a way that you don't need it to be said.
I see someone afraid, and
Tired of living in fear.
I see
Greatness.
I see
Perseverance.
I see
Humility.
I see a
Gentleness that you are
Timid to act on because it makes you
Vulnerable.
I someone who was told you
Couldn't do it, and not because you can't, but because you are
More than
Capable.
I see someone who wants to
Trust, wants to be
Loved, wants to
Let Go, wants to be at
Peace, but is
Afraid it won't work this time because it hasn't before.
I see someone
Dying to break free and
Afraid of that freedom.
I see someone
Burdened, but
Afraid to lose the weight.
I see someone who is easily taken for
Granted.
I see someone who questions their
Value, their
Importance, their
Impact.
I see someone who wants to
Change, someone who
Doesn't want to see them self this way anymore, someone who has the
Fight in them to make the change.
When I look at you I see someone
Lost,
Longing, someone
Hopeful and too
Stubborn to give up.
I see someone with a
Beautiful future.
