Go The Extra Mile 6~23~09 Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I want you to look deep into my eyes
And tell me things will be alright
I want you to look even further
And then tell me you’ll never leave my side
I want you to wrap me tight in your embrace
And wipe the tears from my face
I want you to wrap me even tighter
Then tell me I’ll never be erased
All I want is for you to be there for me
So frequently
That I never have to think
Or even second guess
I’ll always know you’ll be there
None the less
All I want is to be so sure
That the THOUGHT never crosses my mind anymore
Because it’ll always be known
And hopefully someday all of those things
Will not only be well felt but well shown
