Understand Me

by Michael C. Shivar

Let me show you the stars in the sky
Let me get lost looking into your eyes
Let me admire your smiling face
Let me cry when you go away

I just wanted someone to hold my hand
Just wanted someone who would understand
You never doubted, never gave up on me
And your always asking for my company

And I’m wondering 
What goes on in your mind
You have always been so gentle and kind

Wondering about the future 
Wondering about my wife
Wondering if this will last awhile
Or even the rest of my life

It is all I can do sometimes
In my little boy stare
To keep my hand from running through your hair

I want a reason to reach out and hold your hand
But I hold it back ‘cause you might not understand

And I don’t’ know if I should let you be
But I can’t help wondering if you were meant for me

And that would be something else...


Why did he write that?!?!?
