Wonder

I wonder how many times I pray to God to keep him safe 
I wonder how many times I think of him and wish he could’ve stayed
I wonder if he understands that my love won’t ever fade 
I wonder if he knows that I feel this way
Sitting here worried if when he sleeps he will wake up safely 
And when he wakes he walks with patience
I wonder if he loves me the amount that I love him
I wonder how much the world thinks of him
When I look deep into his eyes I think he knows of his short comings
I think he understands the hurt that we have to go through and the pain that 
keeps us 
torn apart.
I have sympathy for him at times when I don’t know how he is on the inside
And I think of him as the best when I don’t understand how others see him 
behind what I 
see
Everyday I wonder how my life could be if he was still here 
If he was here to wipe the tears away and to let me know that I can make it 
Wondering how I can show him that no matter what he does he will always be 
accepted for 
who he is.
I wonder if he knows…….
