Shine
June 4, 2012
I didn’t want you to leave
I wanted you to stay and talk
You are so sweet and kind
And words just escape me
Like a flock of wild birds
My heart is fluttering away
In your hands it longs to land
Yearning for you to stay
I can’t bear to see you alone
But bear it I must
Because pride and fear
Have a way of hiding me
Maybe I am selfish and rude
Maybe my coldness confuses you
I am only scared, but I want to know
Who you are…I want to see you grow
Your talents slowly show
But still you turn and go
Thinking you are inadequate
Making ME want to quit
I never want you to leave
Please just listen…believe
I want to see you shine
Though you can never truly be mine
