Intelligence is Beauty

Intelligence is beauty 
Yet most lock it away 
I've seen engaged, the minds of some 
Still they seem afraid 

Afraid to show potential 
To embrace who is inside 
I show them how to do it 
But from me, they hide 

You're more than just a body 
I've said this straight to you 
You said that you LOVE me 
I answered with ME TOO 

I didn't mean I loved myself 
That much there is true 
I was reciprocating 
I meant that I LOVE YOU 

So tell me how you truly feel 
Please don't leave me guessing still 
My feelings are eternal 
My heart has Hercule Will  

Hercule Will in definition 
Is a strong, passionate heart 
Dreams are harbored by this Will  
When followed, creates art 

Art that's found in daily life 
A life that's filled with bliss 
Of a shoulder there to rest your head 
A hand, a hug, a kiss 

You tell me that you're done with them 
Will you join the other side? 
You tell me that's not what you meant 
You meant your heart, you meant your pride 

Do you shut down your emotions? 
Build back up a wall? 
Place yourself behind it? 
Ignore ever suitors call? 

I'm calling out to you now 
To tell you how I feel 
If you feel the same way too 
Please, show me you're for real 

Each day that passes by us 
Is another love that's lost 
Do we dare to wear hearts on our sleeves? 
Is it really worth the cost? 

If we let these feelings get pushed down 
Just ignore and walk away 
We'll always wonder "What If?" 
Until our dying day 

So tell me, "DO YOU LOVE ME?" 
I know that I LOVE YOU 
Let's stop hiding from each other 
And speak from hearts we know are true 

Please don't leave me in the dark 
I know just what you said 
Although you claim to not remember 
It's locked away inside my head 

When that moment happened 
You said to me those words 
I was telling you the same thing 
Regardless, what you think you heard 

My mind keeps calling back that day 
Wishing it could go back in time 
I'm telling you, right here, right now 
I'm telling you with rhyme 

I don't want one more day to pass 
Without telling you my heart 
Could this cause an ending?  
Or could this cause the start? 

So brilliant a mind that you have 
Your beauty hid inside 
I wish you'd bring it out more often 
From me, not let it hide 

You said "HI" was the best part 
I won't take that away 
From the smile that shines so brightly 
And always makes my day
