YOU

Unable to say a word,

I stare at you from the side,

your face so beautiful it’s sad.

And when I realize, the tears won’t stop.

So hurt, and so tired you had been,

more than anyone ever imagined.

So sorry I never knew.

Wrapped in the spring wind, describing a far-away dream,

the white clouds of summer scatter and vanish.

Autumn sky, so full of sorrow; Winter sea, so brim with chill.

Losing ourselves in the passing of time.

So many obstacles you’ve passed through,

just to make it here today.

Every day I think about it,

and my heart fills with pride.

Everyone holds their memories and feelings;

never able to put them into words.

Carrying them, they live on.

Everyone gets tired, going the long way around.

Looking for that final place.

One day I pray to find it waiting,

where my heart is at peace, just being close to you.
