When he says “I love you”
He’s saying it to her;
The girl inside
The one who tries to shine
Out of me.
Yet here he is, loving not what the world sees,
Not even what’s in the mirror.
He loves the potential,
He loves the passion
He loves the dreams.
I’m just the girl.
The girl who falls four times
Before she makes one move forward
He loves the woman I’ll become.
The woman I might become
The woman I could maybe become.
The woman I’ll never be.
