Voices

.
And I'm to give my case
to the now & ever after 

Not enough to be revealing 
In readiness to be taken 

so,
allow me my moments before 
I gift myself to you always 

Know my words to be true 

Allow me my voice to be heard 
by one who believes in me
 
Who yearns to know all good 
and bad with equal calm
contentment

One who'll drop everything to 
just look my way because they 
see the love reflecting back

One who's not swayed by fancy
bravado or heroic deed 

One who'll always be there
In longing
If that's how it falls 

One who'll not retreat or
give into surrender because
it gets tough sometimes.
