Show me who you are
Not that I don't know
but I could never know enough
I see thoughts in your eyes
expressed through a language imperfect
and I need to know more
Show me who you think I am
Not that I've the right to know
but mirrors can't be trusted
And, if you're going to open up,
you might as well open all the way
fulfilling your need to show more
You think I'm stronger than you
but I'm not
Your strength comes wrapped in graceful ribbons
carrying a weight deceptive in its density
You think me wise while I learn from you
About love
About patience
About peace
You think me brave while I lean on you
On your love
On your patience
On your peace
You show me who you are
I try to see it all
but I could never see enough
Worlds built on words
expressed through a language imperfect
And I need to know more
