How can you not know me yet

That I love the very bones of you?

How could you let yourself forget

I’m here, whatever you go through

What can I do to show you

That you mean the world to me

Tell me what it takes to prove

What do you need, to set you free

Let me help you see my heart

So you can see you, as I do

Let me show you every part

So you can love those places too

Let me introduce you, to the feelings that you spark

So that you know beyond a doubt

That you forever, have my heart

    Beautiful, couples need to see each other this way.

    The "very bones" did it for me! That was beautiful!

  • This is such a beautiful poem, Kelli. Just a question. Is it possible that the intended within this poem is autistic? From personal experience I would tell you that, if they are, you would not only have to tell them plainly but also demonstrate it. If, however, they are simply typically male & oblivious, well..., good luck with that.

    Beautiful. Loved the sentiment here - what do I have to do to show you I love you? Ironically, writing it down in a poem might be the answer.
