YOU KNOW

I am an irreplaceable treasure

The only one of my kind

No matter the number of emeralds in existence

You always find me

You see me

You know my spirit

You know my insides out

I am not mass-produced

I am couture

An original artwork

A unique heart

An unheard song

You study my every color

You see my truth

No lie could replace the eternal internal

I could never be lost

You would scour the earth to uncover

and recover a love most true

You honor my existence with your fight

You never give up

You never let go

You value the rarity of my comet

Never missing a showing

I am not my body

It fades

It expires

You are never jaded by the external,

knowing my worth is incomparable.

We are interconnected

Intertwined

You would know me anywhere

You carry me as yourself

We are one

‘Til the day I die

You are my mirror

Shining the reflection of my light

I am a spectrum of possibilities’

Expansive as the universe

I am extraordinary!

I am limitless

I am treasured

And this, you know.
