You are strong

I didn't see it for a while.
Didn't see your strength -
how nothing ever makes you fall.
And I didn't know about your fragile side, too.
I didn't think there could be so much power
in your stillness.

You can't imagine how ashamed I am to admit:
I thought you were a pretty face, no more.
Another boring, empty soul.

It's my mistake, my bad, I didn't stop to look!

But time went by - you were you.
Calm. Friendly. Intelligent. Fun. Simple.
Lovely. Crazy. Beautiful. Brave. Different.
You.

And I almost missed it all,
because I turned my eyes
away from your pretty face,

But then I looked once
and saw so many worlds -
all inside you!
I want to travel!
I want to move in you to see the source
of this beautiful strength in your eyes.

But it makes me weak, so I just say stupid things.
