To My Most Beloved Only
Back Up

I am watching you.
I know that from this distance you can’t be sure
You can’t tell if it’s you that I’m focused on
And you feel alone; but you’re not
I am watching you.

I want to take you home
But that wouldn’t be fair to you, not yet
I am hard to live with and harder to love
And maybe you feel abandoned; but you’re not
I want to take you home.

There is no one more a part of me than you
There is no one more a part of you than me
And I cry at night, and I call your name
You can not hear me from where you sleep
But maybe your heart can feel me anyway

I am with you everywhere you go
No matter how far away I am
I’m your biggest fan, with the loudest cheer
The determination that keeps you going
The persistent whisper in your ear

Never let anyone tell you that I don’t love you.
They’ll say that I’m selfish and not being fair
But I only want you to have the best
And that’s not me, not yet
But, believe me I do love you

And I’m watching, and waiting, right here.
