I wonder what happened,
That sense of familiarity and comfort,
Why do my eyes well up in tears?
Why do I worry so much?
life takes you places,
you encounter remarkable people,
you wonder what they mean,
Who am I to them?
Who are they to me?
We were once strangers,
You and me...
I don’t know what this means,
I don’t care what it is,
My eyes well up with tears,
Every time I think of you,
I want the best for you,
I am your friend, the outsider...
Who cannot enter your life,
But who cannot exit either,
A mere spectator, a cheerleader,
A nobody, a well wisher, a bystander,
Your best kept secret, a friend,
One who could have been...
Sometimes...
When I am with you,
I am filled with so much joy,
A sense of relief, happiness and fear,
Fear that this might be the last moment,
Happiness that I am able to be there,
Whatever it is...
It transcends my understanding...
Sometimes...
When I try to find answers,
The questions just won’t stop,
I need to stop wondering,
Let go of my fears,
Believe that you will be alright,
I know I am there and will be,
ready to shed a tear,
Offer a shoulder,
Soldier on my dear...
It is your hour and it is your dream,
When you come out of your cocoon and fly,
I will be there cheering for you...
Always...
