More Than You Know

Life can be hostile,
And I may have only known you a short while,
But I feel as if I've known you my whole life,
I know you're going through strife,
Even if I don't know exactly what you're going through,
This I know is undoubtedly true,
I care deeply for you.
I may not know everything about you,
But I see beauty shining through those tresses,
I see glimpses of kindness,
Glimpses of vulnerability,
Glimpses of durability,
You've come so very far,
To be who you truly are,
I don't attach myself to others easily,
So far, mainly only family,
But I will say this,
You don't deserve this,
I wish you could see yourself
The way I see your self.
I know this battle is uphill,
Do what you will,
But please know this,
Even in the darkness,
People care about you, and if you didn't notice,
I'm certainly one of them,
You're a gem,
A diamond in the rough,
I know things can get tough,
I may not know exactly how tough,
But I have been at that edge,
Where I've been stuck like a wedge
Between the realm of the living and the dead,
Afraid of what could happen, filled with dread,
But just barely too afraid to see the other side just yet,
Then I came through the tunnel, without any regret,
Which I was afraid I would feel in my final moments,
When I would hit the barrier of the exit ramp, spilling like pigments,
But that's in an alternate universe now,
I'm in the here and now,
And that's behind me, just a sough,
In the back of my mind,
And so I find,
Life a wonderful gift,
Even when there's a rift,
The daily pain I feel,
Let's me know I'm alive, for real,
There's always a light at the end of the tunnel,
Even if it feels like you're just falling through a funnel.
And I know this may not mean anything to you,
But I had to say this true,
I like you,
And I just had to try and say something
About how I care, and what I've been feeling,
So that if anything does happen,
No matter strongly how either of us feel broken,
I tried my hardest to tell you,
Just how much I care about you.
You are more understanding than anyone I've ever met before,
Kinder and more patient than anyone I've ever met to before,
More intelligent and nerdy than anyone I've ever met before,
Funnier and stronger than anyone I've ever met before,
More beautiful than any woman I've ever seen before
(And I've seen some beautiful women out there,
But they just don't compare).
I send you positive energy, and lots of hugs,
Talking to you makes me feel giddy, like I assume how it is to be on drugs.
You make me feel like everything's better than fine,
I love when you call me Sunshine,
When you react to my self-portraits with hearts,
My heart, it kickstarts,
Your puns, technical knowledge, and love of video games,
Your musical talent, I can't wait 'till we have our nicknames,
I know we haven't defined anything,
Haven't defined what we are, are we a thing?
And I know you're going through a lot at the moment,
But whenever you're ready to discuss this, ready to make the movement,
Into perhaps being something,
I'm willing to discuss possibly becoming a thing.
There are countless reasons why I like you,
But this is entirely up to you,
You do what's best for you,
And if you feel like something can happen between us,
That's great, but if you need space, this is more about you than us.
