Knowing You Beyond Valentines: Essential Poem 69

'Knowing You Beyond Valentines,' is about telling the one you care about most, exactly why you care about them. Valentines Day is an opportunity to show someone that you love them; for who they are in your life. So then, why not choose to have those perfect words and take the chance to say them, on any day of the year? Follow your heart and trust the beat of the heart that you love most, to guide you. To do that, one must understand and know what that beat is really saying to you.

Having that ability to do so, is the very thing that can set you apart from all those who, for whatever reason, seem to struggle to communicate their true feelings, to others. Perhaps the words in this piece can help you to get that message across! This is the essential poem 69, by New Zealand poet, Pearldiver. Never be afraid to communicate how you feel to others, life is too short to waste that opportunity to love and be loved, to know and to be known, beyond Valentines... and so enjoy, all that each friendship and all love brings.

'Knowing You'

A truly great thing about knowing you

Above the rest, has to be

That I do, I really do believe

That over the time I’ve known you

I’ve learned to understand

Learned to listen

Learned to see

Though I have to say

I often wonder, if it’s you

Who has, always known, me!

Each time that we talk

Your heart seems to point out

The perfect way, to be happy

And I’ve learned its vulnerability

Its fragility, its depth and its true style

Why you are so driven, to just be

Why I miss you, if we’re apart, for just awhile

Why you seem to be, so fresh and new

From a glow, that seems to shine right through

Your presence, and there, within your eyes, a smile..

But the greatest thing

About knowing you

Above all else, just has to be

That I do, I really, really do

And how, for the first time, I just knew

How much I’d fallen in love with you

When I learned, exactly what it would mean, in the end

Because your heart secretly, trusted me

Beyond Valentines

Beyond my being, your greatest friend…

Sometimes it takes a lot courage to say how you feel about someone you care about. Others may find that social media has actually provided greater opportunities to be, or be seen as, a great communicator. Generally though, it usually all comes down to having the personal confidence to act on your feelings. If you feel that your confidence is lacking then don't beat yourself up because of that, give yourself a chance to gain the belief in yourself that is required to develop personal confidence and the power to express yourself positively. Trust your instincts when it comes down to choosing the right words for the occasion; it's amazing what you can convey when you truly speak from the heart. After all, heartfelt words always mean much more... Good Luck.
