Why can't you see it?
Why is it that you can't see the truth?
Is it because you don't know?
Or are you blinded by lies?

I wish I could make you see
What an amazing being you are
One that isn't just a random collection
Of billions upon billions of particles

I wish I had enough heart
To pour into this poem
To tell you how fantastic you are
To show you that you aren't what you say you are

I've tried numerous times
To try and move the right words
In the right positions, in the right order
But I can never find the right combination

Maybe because it can't be done
At least not by me
I am not the right person for this
If I was, I will try to my last breath.

I will try to find the right words
The right adjectives, the right nouns, the right verbs
The right order, the right length, the right sound
Trying to make a poem just as beautiful as you are

It may never finish
It may never begin
Because you cannot simply be defined
By just a few words

Not even a few hundred
Not even a few thousand
Not even a few million
Because there is always more about you

Because I don't want that poem to end
I don't like endings
Some things were never meant to be finished
Especially not you

But right now, I must go.
So I'll just say one word that I hope will be enough for you
Enough to last my eternal task to find the right combination.
Unforgettable.
