This is for someone I have come to know — someone who has become a part of my world. To give a name to every relationship is difficult, so in the verse below I try to express a few of my untouched memories with that person — without, of course, disclosing her name.
I often say a few words,
but your answer silences my world.
When I stand, sad, in a corner,
your unspoken touch heals me.
I set things wrong for myself,
but you correct them, and feel me;
I hide, trying to run from life,
and you come close, and love me.
When I ask, “Who am I to you?”
I hear your unanswered, eternal truth.
My friend — do I matter to you?
Your eyes ache just to hear it.
I searched for a truth, and for you —
and God gave me both, in you.
And when I call you with my silence,
once again, your answer silences my world…
