Still, It's You

You came back,
and I wanted to hold you.
There was so much
I wanted to say.

You were hurting,
but still you reached for me.
I loved you,
and got in my own way.

You know me
the words and the silence,
the little things
I try to hide.

So I hope you could feel,
even then, even there,
how I wanted you
by my side.

It’s you,
it’s still you.
When the day settles down,
it’s you I want close.

And I love you,
I still do.
I wish my arms could tell you
what my heart already knows.

I miss talking
with nothing to tell you.
I miss listening
to how your day went.

And I wish I had stayed
in that moment you gave me,
let you finish,
let myself take your hand.

You were brave,
and I love you for trying.
You came with
your own heart to mend.

I was scared of the hurt
we had carried before.
But I wanted
to hold you again.

It’s you,
it’s still you.
When the day settles down,
it’s you I want close.

And I love you,
I still do.
I wish my arms could tell you
what my heart already knows.

When you came back,
I couldn’t show you.

But I wanted to hold you.

I hope you know

I wanted to.
