Potential

I fell in love with your potential

I see what you could be

And it pains me

To know that you have not a clue

Of what we might be

Together

A love so pure

A joy so free

A grace so inexhaustible

A security so comforting

Knowing that no matter the trials

You'll always be around

But the truth is

You're not

And I don't blame you

Your vision is skewed

But maybe

If only you could see yourself

You'd be able to see me too

If only I could open your eyes

But even if I had the chance 

I don't think I'd take it

Because if you saw me for what I truly am

I fear you'd fall in love with my potential 

And you'd pray to God that my eyes be opened

To see all that I could be

So that we might be together.
