Aware


Can I just look at you 
Just sit here
Watching you be you
I could be yours
And to you 
I would be true

Will you know I'm here
Watching, in full view
Not from afar
I'll be here 
Should you stumble
All harm to you I would bar

Would you give me license 
To draw, to share
The sweet air that you breathe 
If you knew 
It's an intoxication
Making sighs I would conceive

Should you grant me audience 
Would I need to bow
Or bend a knee
Or would you 
Look me in the eye 
With unmeasured equality

If only I'd the gumption 
To realise 
There are some truths beknown
That you where aware
Of my being there
And that I would be your own
