Why It’s You

You see me.
That's what makes it so easy
This falling for you.
You look into what makes me ugly
And call me beautiful.
You laugh at just the right time
Because you find me amusing.
You enjoy me.
My attitude, my bossiness,
My tough side, my sexiness.
You look at me and smile
As if everything you see
All that I appear to be
All that I am
Is all right with you.
You look at me
Past my fortress strong outside
To my soft-for-you center.
You ease past all my barriers
With just a sweet smile
Because you look at me
And you see ME
A woman of worth
And honor and beauty
And humor and sensuality.
You see me
Past my anger at you
Past my quick-tempered words
Until you look at me
And say just the right words
To make my mad at you
Turn into a hunger for your voice,
Your smile, your touch.
You look at me
And you see ME
And the way you see me
Makes me feel as if
Finally
I've met someone
Who accepts
The less than perfect
But always striving
Daring woman, hopeful child
That makes me, ME.
