I Know You

Because I know you.

A simple sentence, to the untrained ear.

Four words from anyone else, I would have scuffed.

Right? Of course, you think you do.

No one can really know me.

Not the real me.

They see only what they want.

But not you.

You see me.

You see the sweat on my brow.

The piles in my closet.

The imperfect cracks on my walls.

You don't run or hide.

But show me yours.

"You always look good."

You hear me

Every word, every sigh.

The language that seems to fall on deaf ears

You understand it fluently.

Taking me in your arms.

"You're my kind of crazy."

"I know you."

When you say that

it's better than the three words overused in passing.

I know you

Speaks to my heart and soul

because it holds truth.

I know you

And still

you love me.

As I know you.
