Out Side of Me

To know you, to feel your pain & hide myself
inside you again & again,
To walk with you, walk away from you,
where I'm beside myself, outside myself,
letting you just be you, letting you be, me...
Wanting to hold you, not control you
 mold you into what I know you could be..
Still I find myself, outside myself,
Watching you hide your self from me
