Standing below...

Standing below you I saw above you

Your face blank with control

But in your eyes lies your soul

A glint of who you were

And now this place where you stand

Standing below you I see a hint of you

Your insides your silent cries

Pacing now you are thinking

Though nothing gives

I know the complexity of your thoughts

You you've always been one step ahead

Hands on hips it is your stance of I am

I can and I will be in control

You ask simple questions

And all along you know the answers

Never going too far into that place

That may take you home

There is comfort for you in not knowing

But even so I know the pain of your uncertainty

One glance here and there

Just enough to take me in

Into your thoughts if only for a moment

Walking away I see your hesitation

And if I were to call to you

I know it would break the silence

But there is peace in knowing

That you like me are hurting

So sudden a moment passes

And then we move into the next

I still believe in second chances

When love has healed our hearts at last

Standing below you I saw above you

Glowing embers in your hair

So sure to me are the things of my heart

And the one who led me there

Each moment that passes I am thinking

Never knowing but always believing... in you
