"a goddess of beauty"
"a goddess of beauty"
that is what you called me.
i laughed,
because i am just a man.
as human as you are.
how could i be a goddess
and still be flawed?
love is blinding you.
i am far below
where you may think i am.
i am far from perfect.
what i am
is not beauty.
but you make me believe
perhaps i am.
you could not understand.
you have given me confidence
in the things i once doubted.
i thank God for you.
however,
you could not understand,
because i barely understand.
how is it
that a single boy could do all this?
do you know
that i want to be
my best self
when i speak to you
or when i am with you?
this is what you do to me.
not only do you melt my world
until it is warm and sweet,
but you better me.
how?
how do you do it?
i have tried and tried
but i fail myself every time.
perhaps i am scared to fail you.
i trust you
and i trust God's plan.
but i am still my fallen self.
i am afraid of ruining it all.
there is so much i wish to do
and so much i wish to say;
but none of that will matter
if i go and mess things up.
i am scared of losing
the good thing which is you.
===
"For i love you better
Than the whole world;
And though
I will die for you
Blithely,
It would be like
All the joys of Paradise
To live on
And spend my life
In your service."
- Robert Louis Stevenson
