To Be Us

I wish I had the strength to stand up to the world

I wish I had the strength to be all I can be

I wish I had the strength to just be me

I wish I had the strength to not put you through this pain

I wish I had the strength to say no to my desires

I wish I had the strength to do what was required

I wish I had the strength to not hurt you in any way

I wish I had the strength to help guide you through your day

I wish I never disappointed you

I wish I never was untrue

I wish I only made you happy

I wish I never was not me

I wish we could just be “us” already

No more confusion or doubts

Just the purity between us

With no shadows hanging about

I want that day to come already and I’ll be impatient until it’s here

Always looking for ways to see you

Always looking for ways to be near

You’re the wind in my hair

You’re the air that I breath

You’re the strength that I need

You’re the one that I believe

When all else has failed me I know I can turn to you

I can always count on you to just be you

You’re my pillar in the confusion

You’re my rope attaching me to the above

You’re the one who whose hand fits mine just like the perfect glove

You’re the one who respects me for who I am

You’re the one who understands where I’m coming from and where I stand

You’re the answer to my hopes and dreams

The one I pray for every day

You’re the one I need

The one who can take it all away

I love being in your presence and hate it even more when you are gone

I just want to be with you every day and beyond
