when I close my eyes and start removing the memory into a dream,

Oh my goodness, gosh, oh wow

God created you and you’re so damn beautiful

But, you are not mine, & somehow that thought gives me peace

I know somewhere, someone will see how beautiful you truly are.

Gratitude

    As long as it brings peace, then I guess it's okay. Beautiful poem!

    Very intense. I know somewhere -someone will see how beautiful you really are. Good luck in the challenge.
