After all these years,
you still have walls.
Your defenses are still there
even though you give
part of yourself away,
your walls still remain.
I have worked very hard,
to try to tear them down,
not for my sake, but for yours.
I see you have torn down a little bit,
You have given me a peak,
a view inside of who you are.
Things I've never seen before,
I'm not afraid of you,
not afraid of what you see
in yourself.
You opened yourself up
and left yourself exposed.
And I tell you now as I told you before,
I see a gorgeous woman.
You are real.
You're not a story,
you're not an imagination,
you're not a piece of fiction.
You're real.
You are raw,
and brutally honest.
You are what other women should be,
this is one of your strongest suits,
because you are not a facade.
You are beautiful,
more than any model,
because you are real.
I can stare at your face all day long
without any shred of makeup
you are what true beauty is.
Raw.
