The Gift

by

Christina Garrison

 

He sees things nobody else can see

He hears things I've never voiced

He speaks words straight from my heart

He knows me

A few short words can make a day

A few pleasantries and a bit of play

Wash away years of pain

And for the first time I feel sane

He sees things only he can

He hears things I only think

He speaks the words I've longed to hear

He knows the "real" me

With my life in shadow, he was to me

A lighthouse on the sounding sea

He gave me light and made me see

What my life could truly be

He sees right through my facade

He hears right through my lies

He speaks the truth no one could know

He knows the inner me

A brightness has broken up the night

He showed me the way and made me see the light

He showed me I could still trust my heart

And true love, could never really part

I can only thank him for showing me the way

That the true path to happiness was to stay

I believe life has it's reasons for pulling two together

A friendship that could last forever
