she will never love you like I do
she will never look at you
and see perfection
along with imperfections
but it's your flaws and secrets that add complexity to your layers
I peel them back one by one
falling deeper each time, more engrossed
I draw you into me -- a captured breath
you brush off my words of praise like crumbs on the table
trying to pretend that you don't hear them
except that you do
you hear and remember every word I say
and you know them to be true
the idea that I love you more than her
that you and I are the two who belong together
is a scary thought to you, not because of what you gain
but because you've never had this kind of love
this raw, honest, unwavering devotion
like the stone on a cliff that never erodes
no matter how much the stormy water beats at it
you are both whole and broken with me
I know you on a deeper level, the same way you see inside of me
I know your soul
you're my reflection
and I'm your missing piece
