I Think You Understand

I think you understand
the way I felt when you first touched me
in the moment I needed a friend

All I wanted was your truth
Beneath the face I could identify
A translucent mystery
Sweet as it is

I need you more than you need me
An unusual occurrence
Usually so autonomous
Separate
Holding on by a thread

I hope we can solve the initial mystery
and all the rest that may arise
We’ll drain the wax to guard 
from the harsh gusts of wind

You have a part of me to keep
Nurture
Maybe one day we can find
the happiness
in between the lines
