The Silent Wish

It's alright, I understand,
When you were upset and we drifted for days.
It's okay, I understand,
You reach out when it suits you,
And things slip away from us.
It's okay, I understand,
You kept me waiting,
Time slipping through fingers like sand.
I understand,
Truly, I do,
I understand you.

But I'm weary,
So very tired,
Yearning for someone to comprehend me,
To cherish me as I do them,
To hold me close,
And whisper softly,
"You deserve the world."

Why can't you see me,
As I see you?
Why must I always be the one to understand?
I long to rest,
To simply be still,
In the arms of one who knows my silence,
Who strokes my hair tenderly,
And whispers gently,
"It's alright, you're safe here. I understand"
