Across the Wire

Perhaps we've spoken

a mere handful of times

but we talk

almost everyday

I've never held you

in my arms

but you've become part of me

and I refuse to go away

There are secrets you try

so hard to hide

but I know you and I understand

who you are

what you want

and the reasons

you don't want to convey

But these concerns that you bury

are no less true than mine

and I carry them safe here for you

because to me

you're as real

as the people I touch everyday

Someday it'll happen

We'll stand face to face

and you'll know what I know

those things I remember

who you are to me

those things that I wish I could say
