it makes me glad to know you see me through
the clouds and all the shadows that they cast
but How can I accept the the blessings you bring
if they make this much joy for me and you’re still feeling blue?
When do you get to feel some too?
I wish I could share what comes when I feel your smile
I’d give it back
all of it to you
if only my me with you was as much goodness for you as your you is for me
but I can’t tickle your smile or make your heart sing
bring life to your being nor ask for any more…
Have I pulled life from your flow?
how could I let myself get so high when any part of you feels any kind of low?
let me not dam your way
take from you or fill your space
I’ll stick around but only if you want me to stay
I’ll stay but not if you’d rather I go
It’s a long way to this place and farther without flow
Perhaps it’s time to let me let you be the free I almost let me find with you and wish you found with me
Beautiful poem, Rachel!
