A Girl in a Forgetful World

The Way You Look At Me

After all this time,

All these days,

All these weeks,

All these months,

You still look at me the same way.

I've poured out my heart and soul to you,

And you have done the same.

I've told you about all the problems

With my stupid brain,

And here you are...

Looking at me all the same.

The way you look at me,

After all the tears we've shed for each other,

To each other,

And with each other, 

You still look at me like there's something worth looking at.

The way you look at me perplexes me.

How could someone love me -

Broken,

Abused,

Unstable,

And ill me -

And all the while think

That I am still worth fighting for.

You've helped me through my battles,

You've listened to me late at night,

You have let me cry on your shoulder

When I thought I might give up.

You sat out in the rain with me

And wiped away my tears.

You are always with me,

And that is something that will always change the way

I look at the world.

Even when there's drama,

And madness,

Insanity, to be quite frank,

You haven't left me.

You have promised me you never will...

Because when we weren't in each other's lives,

We agreed that was the worst time for us in years.

You bring me sunshine,

With kisses on my cheeks

And a bouquet of flowers.

You tell me when it rains

To look for the rainbows hidden in the clouds.

They will always be there,

Maybe not at first,

Maybe not during the worst,

But if you look hard enough,

You can find one. 

To me,

You are my rainbow.

I love you,

And I will never unsee 

The way you look at me.
