It's always been you.

For him....

I know it screams cliche when I say it
but if I'm going to be honest
then that's the way it has to be.
It was almost 5 years ago.
I wasn't looking for you.
You walked through that door
our eyes met and I knew.
I had never seen you before in my life
never a glimpse or a word of you before
but there I was.
Staring into the eyes of the man that would
forever have my heart
And I didn't even know your name.
I know it when I sit alone
watching the sunrise and listening to the rain
I know that it will be right some day
That you will realize that I'm not going anywhere
that I'm here.
I've always been here and I always will be
That miss you when you fall asleep next to me
when you drive up my driveway after we say goodbye
Before I even leave the car
As you kiss me goodbye
And most of all when you pick me up
and I know I'll just have to say goodbye again.
This time.
This time I'll show you that it's always been you.
It is you.
I know it's you when I come in from the rain
cold, wet and sure.
Sure that it's you.
Everyone has a past
Me and you have our pasts
Sometimes when I hear things
about yours I feel sick
to think some of those girls
weren't me
And I can guess
that when you hear things from my past
you feel the same way.
You're the only one I can feel sure of
Sure of the unspoken things
when you feel the same way
even if it's in secret.
When we were forbidden
to speak or even set eyes on each other
I still knew and I hope you knew too
that it was there
love was always there.
I know it always will be
and I'm hoping
it will be there along with you
I don't want to love you if you won't be there
I've had to pretend for so long
pretend that I didn't feel all these things
that I had forgotten all about you
about me and you
I lied.
I'll never forget.
I'll never let go of you.
I've loved you for so long
and this time
I'm not letting go.

love, hope, him, awareness, passion
