With hair as dark as your heart is fair
you wander through my world.
The Silence is broken by your soft laugh.
I look just in time to catch the smile
that comes so often
(never often enough)
to play with your dark eyes.
In silence I watch I guard I protect.
Waiting for you to call
wanting to be needed
looking to preserve
every small happiness.
Ever present, hovering
at the edge of your mind,
will I always remain,
as you struggle to find out what it is
that will allow you to become you.
Should you ask, I will guide you
to that which may be the you
you will want to be.
I will walk with you
as you discover
where each step takes you.
A companion,
for no one should walk alone;
a friend,
to share the hardships;
a protector,
to clear the way;
all of these I will be for you
Should you but ask.
