are you out there? who can say?
are you hiding for a better day?

were you in your shadows all along?
is it really still so wrong
for you to show yourself to me
to arrive, and then to never leave
to ask from me, as i from you
to prove the one i always knew
was waiting as i waited too
you for me as i for you

are you out there? i, waiting still
hand extended out until
you reach out too and wander near
then from your shadows you appear
and together never need to part
since every day feels like the start
of something bigger than before
something perfect. something sure.

so, shadows i’m surrounded by
give her up, do not deny
me of her presence any more
i’m done with what i had before
now is the time to light her way
but is she out there?

who can say
