I longed to have you take me in your arms, to keep me safe, To cherish my spirit, Bring peace to my world.. I wish I could remember!
I longed to see reflected in your eyes The beauty that was mine, So that I could build a foundation that I owned, Rather than one borrowed from the misperceptions of others? I wish I could remember!
I longed to have you invite me in To show me who you were, So that I would know who I was, Honor and celebrate my accomplishments.. I wish I could remember!
I longed to have you share with me, A bigger picture of my world, Affirm my potential, encourage my risk taking, Bring understanding and value to my failures.. I wish I could remember!
I longed to have you protect the boundaries Of my vulnerabilities, So that I could trust to be open To loving and being loved. But you could not? Because? YOU COULD NOT REMEMBER!
