If you think me beautiful
You should announce it aloud
And you would see my smiles up close
Not from afar.
If you think me wonderful
Do not picture me in your mind
Against the sky
Picture me beside you, and make it true
If you think me incredible
Send me a book full of these thoughts
Watch as my eyes go wide
Prepare your lips for mine
Though, if you think me not these things,
Freely picture me in your mind
And write a book of your incredible thoughts,
But dare not say a thing to me aloud.
And if you think yourself unworthy,
Think not, and follow my words.
Author notes
Sorry if you find it a little off topic. If you take it from the viewpoint of the cat not being able to think, I think it goes splendidly.

Very interesting take on the image, captivated me in its entirety. lovely soft images and I think most will identify with the voice being spoken - despite it being a cat - about the hopelessness behind wanting someone to love you and knowing at the same time its never likely to be.

It wasn't really supposed to be from the cat; it was to the cat from the girl in the sky...

Hmmm... I like it just not sure why
