You there
I have something to tell you

I want to tell you that you look beautiful
Don't look down at your feet
I can't see the gems in your eyes

I want to tell you about your hair
It's so shiny I might go blind
Don't tie it up, let it be free

I want to tell you about your smile
It lights up the room when you show it
Don't hide it away, share it with the world

I want to tell you about your outfit
Its so cute I might cry
Don't stand in the corner, show it off to us

You there across the room

Listen to me

You are either dead or alive.Your heart either pumps blood or life.Our hearts pump words love life and understanding.Into our sub-conscience body for we use the hands of that body to write. -Best friend :&#039;( RIP
