Inside

All the sweet words and softest gestures that
you gave. You presence while you're far away.
I've taken it inside, as I feel you in my heart.
The rain stopped pouring on me and the flood
of tears has ceased.
Your gentle understanding and mutual thoughts
set me free.
Freed my mind to tell it all. Shared experiences,
advice and support as you need it.
Made me feel special as you speak your truth.
I wish I could take your pains away and
cast them away in the black starry night.
Let me show you how much you mean to me.
And I do know the words, but I don't dare to speak them
to you.
You know I'll be there like you want me to be...
(Dedicated to Fietje)
