What Do You See In Me?
What do you see in me?Not outward appearance but inside of me?
Not my shape but the very essence of me?
I mean, I know what I see in you,
Which would explain why I loved you before you learned to love yourself,
I saw the man that God destined you to be,
The man that had been hurt but soon would triumph over everything,
I saw the love that you had within but never really discovered,
I saw you,
But do you see me?
I'm telling you I saw the hurt in your eyes,
Which of course explained the reason for all the lies,
And even though sometimes I wanted to cry,
God, my God would never let me hide,
Kept showing me all the reasons why,
Even though you gave me every reason not to love you,
He told me that you were His and He chose you,
Opening my eyes not once but twice to love you,
But do you see me?
See me the way that I saw you,
The way I still see you,
Despite the imperfections the way I still love you,
Which leads me back to the original question,
What. do. you. see. in. me?
