You might have looked into my eyes for a while
But have you noticed the way they sparkle?

You might have seen my thin lips smile
But have you noticed when it gets reflected in the eyes?

You might have hold my hand
But have you felt its warmth?

You might have seen me asleep
But have you seen me at peace?

You might have seen me laughing hard
But have you ever seen me shed tears?

You might have talked to me very enthusiastically
But have you stopped by to accompany my silence?

You might have seen me anxious about being late
But have you seen me dance in the rain like nothing else matters ?

You might have seen me without clothes
But darling, have you seen me naked?
Have you seen my soul?
