I don’t think you understood

Half of what was told to you.

I know I’m much too old for you

to show you something that is new.

I guess I’d have a couple words

But when I say them are they heard?

Because sometimes you act like what we have

Has hastily halted to what we had.

I know that you don’t understand

The way that life brought me the light;

Through fright, sheer pain, and disbelief,

I got pulled through the dark night.

And in the day these things remain.

I’m not somehow immune to pain.

Just because I brace when it comes

Instead of turning my back just to run

I tried to tell you that there are more,

I’ve met a few of us so far,

But all you see is me it’s true

Because you know that I love you.
