Still

I don't know all the things that make you cry
But know you shed tears for reasons only you can understand
I've heard you laugh at life's events
And sometimes wish I knew why
I've talked to you for hours
Wondering if staying up late is from excitement and intrigue
Or is it fear that falling asleep may cause it to disappear when you wake
I can tell you want to be as sure as possible
Not just to avoid the hurt, but to keep others safe from having to see you in pain

And still
I can't help but want to be a part of your life
To taste the wine that is you
To feel your spirit carry me through
To become intoxicated with the things that make you smile
So that the victories are sweeter
And the defeats much softer
And I am not afraid
