With Me (2008)

With Me

It is, perhaps, too much

to ask someone to

hold onto my dreams

for me,

to hold my hand if I'm

afraid, or

love me any time I

need.

I wish, perhaps, too much

and wait for someone to

say just the right words

to me,

that make me always feel OK

with who and how I

am, and

mean when they say they

love me always,

forever.

When I am tired,

when I feel too

feeble with frustrations,

who sits with me and

shows they care?

I am OK.

I am that one, always,

for me.
