I’ll let this one speak for itself.

How is it that from the very first moment

You knew everything about me

Immediately sensed how to touch my heart

Was I an open book, so easily read

Or is it that you are so perceptive

You grasped what others cannot, or will not

Those who have known me forever

Yet have no clue who I am

I am in awe of you – You saw right thru me

My pain, my hurt, my disappointments

My weaknesses and my many flaws

You knew it all, but loved me anyway

How is it that you knew I loved you, too?
