Searching
Everyone has heard me crying out,
Yet nowhere are they found.
Everyone sees me next to you,
And all I earn is their frown.
You were the first to take my hand,
And you were the first to look at me.
You were the first to whisper my name,
And try to teach me to see.
No one understands that I need you,
And often they'd force us apart.
But I wish for just one more moment here,
While lost in the beating sound of your heart.
You've been teaching me so many things,
And my name sounds less like a curse from your lips.
And you've taught me to dance in and not fear the rain,
As it runs by our windows in small, fragile drips.
I'm no longer afraid of what's out there,
And I'm finally done searchingfor meaning inlife.
Because there in your arms I find what I need;
My silent escape from my strife.
I wish sometimes they wouldn't frown.
But you see what no one else can see.
And by your own hand you've given me wings;
And by those wings, you set me free.
Never again will I search in a lie,
As long as you're by my side.
Because you've taught me the best way to search,
Is to attempt to touch all we've ever had inside.
