Understand me
Look into my blue green eyes
Though not the way to see my soul
I wear mine here on my sleeve

My honesty seems scary
They think it can't be true
I am made of forgiveness
Some think that's stupid to choose

Tire tracks cover my body
My very own scrapbook of tattoos
I won't pretend they aren't there
But scars need not run deeper than skin

Always crossing paths
What you say and do will live inside me forever
Best friend or stranger
A world of star-crossed brothers and sisters
Building and breaking bonds

You are so beautiful
I can see that in the colors that surround you
In the wrinkles around your eyes
In the way you squeeze my heart when you walk into the room

Thank you for being unafraid
You are real
You are true
