Love The Girl Within

You say that you “love me” …but I wish you would love…me
Not my skin, not my lips, not the dimples on my cheeks
Not my hair or the way that it blows in the wind
Not my height, not my weight, not my “model physique”

See, it seems that you are so deeply in love with … my surface
But that’s an oxymoron and love shouldn’t be bittersweet, it should be perfect
I wish you would love me, the girl within
The girl that the naked eye could never see

Now, I love the way you look at me, you smile and then you grin
But I wish you wouldn’t look at me from the outside, in
That’s why I would let you flirt with my mind, caress it and even take it to bed with you ‘cause see…
If we shared the same dreams, there is nothing we couldn’t achieve

You could be my eyelids so without you I couldn’t sleep
Or you could be my optic nerve, without you I couldn’t see
Our love wouldn’t be blind because you would be my vision
And you could be any part of me but that’s strictly your decision

You could be the blood running through my veins…find the only route to my heart
And once you get home, I promise to be the best host right from the very start
Or…you could be my heart, never tired, always full of energy, pumping…love…at 70 beats per minute
Filling every cell till it felt like I was drowning in it

Drowning…my lungs would swell up with your love till I didn’t need any oxygen
My stomach would be empty but for the butterflies swarming within it
And if you were my kidney, I would only need one boo
Why would I need two…When I’ve got everything I need in just you..!

You could be my liver, get rid of ay toxins
Or you could be my spleen, stay fighting to keep our love clean

No part of our love would be useless; I’d keep my appendix even if it was hurtin’
‘Cause see that’s what our love is, there’s no such thing as desertin’
And if you were my bladder, you would store pints of our love in a sac so strong
I’d never have to go, I’d hold it for however long

You could be on top…. Yeah I would let you be my brain, regulating
And maintaining my functions but uh-uh, never controlling!
Our love would be so precious it would need protecting
So would you be my skull, ribcage, or my skeleton?

I would let you be all five of my senses
And forget the sixth ‘cause our love is so senseless
We would love, and oh we would love in excess
We could get lost for seconds and my white blood cells would never leave us defenseless

So…you say that you “love me” but do you love…me?
The girl that the naked eye could never see
I wrote this poem to tell you all that you could be
But first, I need to know that you love the girl within.
