I Will Be Here

The sun rises over the horizon
It has set there so many times before
But never the same place twice
And never the same colour
The horizon stretches so far
The miles are too overwhelming
I will share them with you.

I will never quite understand you
There is so much to know
We do not know why
And we will not care why
If you ever want to be
If you ever wish to fly free
I will be here

If you wish to talk, I will be here
I will be right here waiting
I would like you to tell me
I want to know what you are thinking
I want to know how you are feeling

Tell me everything, please
Tell me everything that is going on in your life
Your life is very interesting and complicated
I would like to know that is going on right now
I want to know what is is your mind

Will you talk to me?
Will you tell me so I will know?
I am interested and fascinated
I do not understand the reasons or have the answers
All I know is that I care

The time has taken so long
What has taken you so long?
Now you are here
And I am beside you
And I want to know

You think I do not identify
But honestly I do
I would like you to realize
I would like you to remember
That if ever you need a talk
That if ever you need a hug
I will be here

I know you have been through too much
But I have been there too
Believe me
I wish for you to believe me
If ever you want to cry
If ever you want to laugh
I will be here.
