INVISIBLE

Here I am, waiting for you to see

That I've been here all along

Watching over you, loving you

Always from afar.

I try to reach out and touch you.

To make you feel that I am there.

You don't notice my touch.

A vague smile and you turn away.

What do I need to do to be seen?

What can I do to make you feel for me?

What can I say to make you look in my eyes

And know that you truly see me?

Do you even notice all the things I do

Just for the love of you?

There is a certain smile I have,

But it's only for you.

Perhaps I expect too much.

Who am I for you to see?

No one. No one, but still

My soul cries out for recognition.

It is likely you will never grace me,

With a smile just for my eyes.

You will probably never touch me,

With the love you so freely give to others.

But remember this when your loves have failed you,

I have been here all along.

Watching over you, loving you

Always from afar.
