The suffering you must go through
I guess I never really knew
Caught up in my own life to see
how deep your pain must truly be
Confusion and dreams are all I had
You gave me joy when I was sad
You walked me though my own trial
yet you were hurting all the while
You give to me more than you know
I am sorry I never let it show
I want to say so much to you
I never really know what to do
You were always there for me
maybe I didn’t hear your silent plea
I wish I had known then what I know now
could I have changed this somehow
I reach for you, you pull away
I know it is not just a game you play
You try to hide but I can tell
I think I know you pretty well
you face the rain all by yourself
you put your heart up on a shelf
To risk more pain and suffer so
it was best to take this slow
9 months has passed since we met
face to face we have not yet
Someday I wish to gaze in your eyes
to show you something you never realized
I have always been here waiting on you
I never knew what you were going through
A friend I am and always true
I hurt when you are down and blue
You are so much don’t you comprehend
that we are so much more than friends
You’re in my heart and in my dreams
on my mind and everywhere it seems
I hold you close inside my heart
this way I know we will never part
Friend forever , eternally bound
a better friend I could not have found
I hope you know I am here for you
All you have to do is feel it too
My sky , my life, my darkest hour
I can face it, because you gave me the power
So never to part always to be
We are bound by Eternity

Bio: I am 33 years old. I love to write. It is my passion. I find it so easy to express myself on paper. Witting is my way to release all the bottled feelings that I can’t express in spoken words. I love to sing because music is also another way to express the things we dare not to say out loud. I am thankful for each and every experience in my life, the good and the bad. Each trial and triumph I have faced has helped me get to where I am today. I am passionate about what I do and I am thankful for the gift I have to express what others sometimes fear to express. Life is good and I will keep pressing on !
