a heart so pure forever mine
it took a while and long to find
but i love the warmth radiating
it's a good kind of alienating

your kindness evident in all you say
the times i talk to you everyday
it makes me happy all the time
that you're my friend, forever mine

i wish you only saw yourself
as a book and not a shelf
as if someone couldn't love you
as if their adoration isn't true

i hope one day that you see
how beautiful you can really be
if you smile and remember
that you're kind and tender

and i hope that you'll know
that i'm not putting on a show
i truly love you outside in
i truly think of you as my kin
