  For the You Who Hides Inside

As you talk to me
I see in your face
the lines drawn by so much life,
I see in your eyes
tears that I will never forget.

You say no one will ever know
the number of hours you spent
alone, even in throngs, struggling
to make it to the next moment of life,
to get to where you are today.

I know that is true
for I, too, have had those dark hours
and no one can ever really share
another's depth of loneliness.

You say no one can ever comprehend
the how, the when, the why of your life
And yet I long to understand...
So I listen intently to each word,
     ponder the sighs,
     cherish the silences,
     and treasure the sparkles of your laughter.
I long to capture and hold forever
each moment that you let me inside,
For you to know
We are not as different
as you might believe.
