Love Poem: Your Beautiful

Your Beautiful

You’re beautiful to me;
Your smile, 
your laugh, 
even your deafening silence is beautiful to me.

You simply being you is something I love to see,
 something I love to embrace,
 and something I love to hear.

I wish I was able to call you mine, 
embrace you in a warm blanket of love and reassurance, 
and though I still can, 
it doesn’t convey the feelings I have for you. 

though I know they have to be condoned, 
something I have to keep off to the side, 
essentially on the back burner.

I wish to show you how you should be treated, 
how I want to treat you, 
yet I’m not aloud, 
There’s an invisible barrier that I can’t cross.

 I will still love you, regardless of what happens, 
because for now, 
our souls are intertwined in something that I can’t untangle. 

So for now,
 you shall be tangled 
within my soul.
