I was naked to you.

You saw me behind the attractive cloth that everyone sees;
Behind the textures and patterns I cover myself with everyday.

You saw through my skin and its color and smoothness.
You saw through the blood pumping oxygen my heart.
You saw though my soul, and all its layers.

Not the textured layers of worldly material,
But the layers I've hidden for those who had the courage to
Unfold me.

You saw beyond what I've tried to mask.
You saw me.

Naked.
