I don't know you
you don't know me
but can we be here?
in this moment, for a while, together.
Your past,
Memories
Pain
Obsessions
Joys
Compassions
Are what I love most about you
Even though we are strangers
You're beautiful
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
The innocence of ignorance
I understand you have parts of yourself you hide away
As do we all
That part is ok, because for know
We don't have to look at it
Its as if it doesn't exist
As your best parts of yourself are revealed first to a person you just met
That is you
Your best parts
That is who I choose to see
But I accept all of you
Because I know how much you hurt
I know your weight
For I share it too
in this moment
We can lift each other's burdens
Before we inevitably must return
to reality
