You looked past me, and just stood there, silent Then you simply turned and walked away And I thought that you were gone for good But, I was wrong, 'cause you turned around, and came back After having been gone for almost exactly a year... You held my by the shoulders, and you looked into my eyes I tried, but I just could not to hide, though I wanted to You looked right through me, right through my smile And with a tender expression on your face, you saw me You recognized me, not just one side, not just one face You saw all the sides, all the faces, all the incarnations You saw the fragile child, crying in her solitude You saw the little girl in denial, shivering and shaking You saw all of my weaknesses, each and every one... And you had already seen all of my strengths My strong, brave-faced mask of calm My nothing-can-get-to-me facade You already had born witness to my heart Unruly, stubborn, and tender You just saw me... So, the night began to fade,as the stars ceased to dream Then, out of the darkness, walked freedom And the sun embraced the day, just as I embraced you With a gentle, yet hungry touch I sighed, and you laughed, sweetly It had been ages since I've heard you laugh It just felt so good, so perfect 'Cause I knew that you finally, finally, finally understood |
