broken bikes

of realizations

this is for you

for your smile

for your laugh

for your tears

for your eyes

for your cheekbones

for your lips

and for everything else

that you don't appreciate

this is for the times you feel sad

the times you feel happy

the times you feel angry

the times you feel frisky

the times you feel excited

the times you feel love

and for all the other times

that you don't notice

this is for your pride

and your embarrassment

and your determination

and your tiredness

and your hopefulness

and your hopelessness

and every other contradiction

that ever crosses

your lovely, lovely face

this is for you

because out of everyone,

you deserve to be told

just how wonderful

you really are,

because you never seem to realize

how much you mean

to me

and to everyone else
