I dont really know you very well.
but, I talk to you everyday because they say that you understand
they say that you are kind
and strong
and mighty like a lion
but also, a lamb.

I dont really understand that, but
i like it.

they say you're my brother
my husband
my lover
everything I could ever want
but sometimes I just want someone to hold me for hours
and I dont feel your hands around me
but, they say that you are really there
and your angels

I dont really understand that, but
i like it.

they say that if I trust in you and keep opening my hand up
and giving you what I am holding onto so tightly
that you will make me have wings
and suddenly I will be much happier and filled
and sometimes I close my eyes so that I can hear you and see you
they say you should close your eyes when you pray
and this one time I think I felt your body next to mine
and I didnt want to wake up
and even though I can't hear audible words from you
sometimes I guess I know what you are saying

I dont really understand that, but
i like it.

I grew up thinking that I had to be someone
something different from myself
I have learned that I like who I am
and, oddly enough, you like who I am.
sometimes I dont believe that, but I feel your eyebrow lift when
when I do something I shouldn't
and even though I dont see your face, sometimes I can tell
you are smiling at me
at me
at me?
me.

and if you like me, I should like me.

I understand that, and
i like it.
