“You can’t see me”
I heard you say
True my eyes alone do not see

You present to the world
What the surface reveals
What lies beneath interests me

To know I must listen
Your words I must hear
To catch a glimpse of your soul

Words you have written
I read time and again
Until the map of your heart unfolds

The sound of your heartbeat
Speaks clearly to mine
I hungrily consume every word

More than those words
My ears ache to catch
Your musical voice must be heard

All that you say
Everything that you do
Reveals your true self to me

Observed is the beautiful
Woman you are
More than what everyone sees

So I close my eyes
And my heart simply knows
What resides in your beautiful heart

It’s your soul that I see
Your heart that I love
That was clear to me from the start
