Empty Hands

He keeps looking for answers
to questions that have been answered long ago
How do I tell him?
I've said it with words from my mouth
but he didn't hear.
I've said it with words from my heart
but he didn't feel the answer there either.
Now I stand here before him with my hands outstretched
palms upward
What does he see?
Empty hands.
But they're not.
Everything that I have to offer are in those upturned hands.
all my hopes and dreams,all that I am, all we could be together.
I have so much to give, so much for him to take.
If he would only reach out and fill my empty hands 
With his.
