2. I see him

I see him by Bookworm El V

For you.

I see him

I see him standing right in front of me.

Standing there with everything that he is.

Standing there with everything that he wants to offer me.

All I have to do is say yes.

Yes to his love.

Yes to his faults.

Yes to his passion.

Yes – to him.

I see him standing right in front of me.

Standing there with all the love in his heart.

Standing there with all the scars on his face.

Standing there with all the blood on his hands.

Standing there with all the fear, the vulnerability and the innocence

in his eyes.

Love.

Scars.

Blood.

Fear.

Vulnerability.

Innocence.

He's showing that all – to me.

Not to the world.

To me.

How could I say no to this man?
