I see people mock you,
betray you,
and use you.
I see that they know nothing
better to do than tear someone down.
They're parasites,
they're souless,
they have no pity-
so why should we?
You saw that you're not
beautiful,
strong,
or wonderful-
to me,
you're the first one I notice
when I walk into the courtyard.
No, it isn't because you're tall.
I see you because you're not just a somebody.
You're everything.
You saw me too.
And, because of that,
I love love you.
(Dedicated to Layla.)
