****wish You Could See**** Poem by Stephen Morris

If you could see yourselfthe way that I see you

Then you would understand why what I feel is true

You wonder how that can be, as we only have just met

But to me you are like a love long lost, that my heart cannot forget


You have been hurt so many times, it seems you've shut the door

Closed your heart to all the world, to simply hurt no more,

To live your life where you feel safe, protected from the rain,

Refusing the chance to be loved again, avoiding possible pain


Every time I am close to you, I want to hold you tight,

But have to stop myself, for now I have no right;

No right to say I love you, No right to say I care,

No right to promise I will be here, and never go anywhere!


But inside my heart is screaming, My god girl can't you see,

This feeling is just too real and I want you here with me,

I want to hold you close, wipe the tears from your eyes,

Profess my love to the world, not hide it in disguise,


I want to take that chance, but through your closed heart

I cannot see,

If I reached out to hold you, would you even come to me?

Would you leave the place that you feel safe,

Would you step out in the rain?

Would you open up your heart, for the chance to love again?


It would be a chance I guess we both would have to take,

But to simply just ignore it, would mean a love we both

forsake;


For now I will just wait, and keep my love for you with me,

And pray one day your heart will warm, and that your eyes

will see,

See the love I feel for you, and that what I feel is true,

And that my love will remain, no matter what you do!
