you saw me

You saw me.
Like a single cloud in a clear sky,
like a sunflower in a bouquet of red roses.
I felt as though there was so much beauty surrounding me,
and yet, you saw the beauty in me.

A single cloud-
Clouds: the representation of sadness;
gloom and raindrops.
You found me at my darkest hour.
My tears fell like rain; you dried them.
I was a single cloud, raindrops and all.
You were the sunshine– my sunshine.
You saw me.

A sunflower-
not as romantic and elegant as the classic red rose,
but represents simplicity to its fullest.
No makeup, an old t-shirt and worn out jeans.
You saw the beauty in it; you saw the beauty in me.
I was a sunflower.
You saw me.

Like a single cloud in a clear sky,
like a sunflower in a bouquet of red roses.
I felt as though there was so much beauty surrounding me,
and yet, you saw the beauty in me.
