Perspective?

I wish I remembered that day

--or was it at night?--

that I didn't care to say

"I hate you."

Does this mean I've grown up?

It's so hard to use

These words to say something

New to you.

 

Actually, its easy

Because you're finally listening,

This is the first time

You ever heard me

And I'm loving it

So much its (almost) sick,

But I'm proud to say

I've changed.

 

I love you so much!

Its easy to see you are Beauty

And, you are The Beast

But its okay to be enough

For both of us.

Its great to be alive,

And its even better when I try.

Take my hand, and live a life.

"its so hard to use these words to say something new to you." i felt that one. especially the way you made me read it, the way it was paced. Then i really like "I love you so much!" you kind of leave your artistic savy, and just get excited, like you had to write it. It actually becomes more artistic.

A very good beauty and the beast story. I believe we need both. Life would be boring if we all thought the same. A very good ending to a excellent poem. Thank you.
