Diamonds

Glistening memories from inside your core. Secrets, I hope. I can sense your unease in the pauses between one word and another. And I wish more than ever I'd known you then. But at least I do now. And that's a lot more than I deserve because I look for mistakes and flaws in perfection. And that, you are. And you make me shine from the inside, bring out the spectrum and you may not see it but I feel it. You make me believe in diamonds. Shine, shimmer and sparkle forever.

After all, diamonds too are carbon at heart.
