poem ~ long for you

I look at you today
and I wonder what I can do,
To help you understand
why I care so much about you.

I try to keep in mind
no matter how hard I try,
The perspective and beliefs
that affect your reason why.

I know that the only way
you’ll ever get out of your shell,
Is if you desire
to find a way somehow.

I long to be the reason
you want to push that wall,
And find something beyond
to answer your hearts call.

I love you for you
and hope you know this clear,
That no matter how you treat me
I’ll always hold you dear.
