from you to me


my thoughts
they're asking you
to notice me
eventually
you read my mind
like I read you
like we both just know
and you see
my ego
you see
my needs
yet pass by
the little boy
inside the man
yearning to grow
yet to remain
that little boy
inside the man
you judge not
just observe
saying the words
you know I'm waiting for
the boy inside...
while you know
deep down
there's something bigger
that will sustain me
like the love you show
when you let me be me
like a tree is a tree
still me, with you
alone
and embraced
with arms open
free to love
in this moment
that brings me to peace
that brings me to gratitude
that brings me
to me
