Sometimes I look at you
and I can't understand
how someone before me
didn't notice a whole
beautiful universe
hidden within you,
sometimes I look at you
and I can't understand
how someone before me
didn't see what I see
sometimes I look at you
and I can't understand
how someone before me
looked at you and didn't
find every single thing
they'd been searching for
in a single human being
and sometimes I look at you
feeling glad that they didn't,
because if they looked
deep enough to see all
of those things within you,
then I would've never
been able to.
