I Wish You Knew
I wish you knew
when it all gets a little too much,
and I feel out of touch
needing an emotional crutch
to get me through
I wish you knew
It's your smile
That's chases away my blues
I wish you knew
when I'm weary of life
bone weary of the tried and true
longing for something deliriously new
To get me through
It's you!
You'll never know
my admiration
unadulterated awe-struck inspiration
you evoke.
You provoke me to feel
escape is the real deal.
I can't conceal
what you mean to me.
My safe fantasy
Ulternate reality
Living in life's duality
Make believe's tonality
My muse, you sing me into sanity
You'll never know,
and that's OK
In this lifetime
this here and now of my days
yes, in so many ways
you've kept me from going under.
Your words, your actions: the thunder
that wakes me from the mundane.
It's insane
that when lost in the abyss
it's your screen worthy kiss
that pulls me into bliss,
I keep it on replay
every hour of every day
and I'm revived
happy I'm alive
I'm ready to thrive!
So keep smiling
portray that larger than life style
that makes admiring you worthwhile.
With those eyes that beguile
love and be loved
live and let me live
here in the shadows
close to your light,
for you are my delight
Thank you
for bringing me back to life!
