Poetry: The way I see you

by Naomi Leveton

Created on: November 17, 2008

Sometimes I wish
The world would fade away
And leave us here
In this Perfect Day

'Cause when I'm with you
Nothing's ever wrong
You make me feel
Like I belong

Whatever they say
You will always be
My source of hope
A place of sanctuary

You make me smile
You make me strong
You help me cope
When I can't go on
You're always there
I've never doubted you
You'll give support
When I need you to

...And I trust you

It's hard to say
Just what I feel for you
But whatever it is
I know it must be true

Those three words
That we all long to hear
Just don't seem right
To make my feelings clear

It's something so strong
Something new to me
And I need you to know
I need you to see

You make me smile
You make me strong
You help me cope
When I can't go on
You're always there
I've never doubted you
You'll give support
When I need you to

...And I trust you

But then they came
And tore my world in two
And they don't understand
What I still see in you

You're an empty shell
Your eyes don't seem to see
Just an echo of
Who you used to be

Whatever they've said
You'll still always be
My source of hope
A place of sanctuary

You made me smile
You made me strong
But now I feel
Like I can't go on
You were always there
I never doubted you
And you should know
I care for you

...I still trust you

You made me smile
You made me strong
And you've been there
All along
Now I need you most
Will you be there for me?
Open your eyes
And make them see

...Can you trust me?

Sometimes I wish
The world would fade away
And take us back
To that Perfect Day
