Better Left Unsaid. By Cesar Reyes

 
I’m not gonna say, you look like an angel
Because I’ve never seen one, and because no one’s perfect, and none of us are angels
But I can honestly tell you that besides heaven I can’t think of any other place that you might have come from
 
I’m not gonna say, you look beautiful
Because everyone says that to everybody, and you deserve more than that
But I can honestly tell you that your beauty is the equivalent of a sunset, you almost don’t want to blink so that you don’t miss a second of it, until its gone. And when its gone you wait patiently for the sunrise
 
I’m not gonna say, your eyes are like the stars
Because stars are essentially just shiny dots in the sky
But I can honestly tell you that it would probably be worth it a thousand times over to get lost in your eyes than get lost amongst the stars
 
I’m not gonna say you have a nice smile
Because I wouldn’t feel right saying it, unless I knew which smile was genuine and which one was a picture pose
But I can honestly tell you that you genuinely smile when I’ve seen you with your son
 
I’m not gonna say you have a great personality
Because I don’t really know you as well as I wish I did
But I can honestly tell you that the very little that I did get to know, was an honor, privilege, & pleasur
