I love you near or far

Robert Frost says that "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." 

 Being that I find myself reverting to writing in order to explain my thoughts and emotions to others and sometimes, even to understand my own mind, I think I can can relate with what Frost has said. I have always been quite shy about the poetry I write, as there is an idea out there that people who write poetry have a lot of hidden secrets or sadness in their life. Because I have never wanted people to have this idea about me I have always hidden my love for poetry and my own poems from most people. But since it is a big part of who I am, and a testament to the experiences in my life and the wonderful people I have been blessed to know, I thought I would take a small step to sharing that. The sharing of this is poem is more for me than anyone who may happen to read it, but anyways here you are. 

See through 

You think no one can tell
But I see through it all
Make em think that you're well
But I know when you fall 

What can I do
Except watch, without hope 
I know I can't help you 
But how do I cope

With this ever present thought 
That you're not okay 
Knowing, even if I fought
I might never see the day

That you finally return
Your heart, once again whole
That passion, that burn
Reignited in your soul 

The immensity of your care
The intensity of your love 
I know it's all there 
I know it's what you're made of

Love and kindness and sincerity
The things that make you
Believe me, you're a rarity
I saw in the beginning, I already knew. 

You keep trying to hide 
But it's not fooling me
Because I see inside 
I know what you're meant to be

The caring, devoted, courageous one. 
Who's spirit burns brilliantly
It outshines the sun 
Ever so blissfully 

He'll attempt to deny
The insanity he holds 
An insanity of love, with more depth than the sky. 
And he doesn't even realize the things he upholds. 

But I do, and always will
To you, I'll impart 
Being with you was surreal
Promise me you won't forget what's in your heart.
