I look at you
But do I really see
All who you are
Who you can really be
My thoughts run about
Voicing this doubt
Almost sort of shout
What do you see in me
Then as you start
To recognize my art
I see we're not that apart
That I can bare my heart
And as I embrace
This vulnerability
You amaze
With your humility
You share your story
Show me some wounds
The eyes meet
The hearts greet
Scarcely any sounds
The mask drops
Time stops
I soak in your presence
Take delight in your brilliance
Now I can truly see
All who you are
Who you're meant to be
This simple exchange
Of heartfelt stories
Your gift
A lifetime
Of Fond memories
