you smiled at me

You smiled at me, 
and made me feel again, 

showed me that it was possible 
that I might in you, find a friend, 

And I told you of the things 
my heart was telling me, 

And I wish I could read your mind, 
see inside your heart, 

know your fears, 
and defeat them, 

know your needs, 
and meet them, 

know your desires, 
and fulfill them, 

get behind your walls, 
hold you close to me, 

show how good I could be, 
to you and just maybe for you. 

I wish you could find the room, 
to let me into your life, 
and into your heart. 

I think in many ways you have 
like when we touch and 
when I hold you close 

walking by your side, 
arm in arm, 
heart to heart. 

I reach my hand to you, 
with heart on sleeve, 

for I know no other way 
to show you my desire 

to walk with you this walk 
together as the sum of two
