Just Take My Hand

For T.B.

I see you smile through the darkness,
Against the eerie pale light of the moon.
The mountains outlined in jagged darkened lines.

You see me and my heart leaps,
And I smile back.
In your company, I am shining.
Shining like the sun, in its brilliance.

You hold me like the sky.
Your touch so light it makes me fly.
Your kiss so gingerly placed it helps me float higher.

I see your pain through your eyes,
Your words so carefully were chosen.
I feel it run in my veins,
With which I want to reverse for you.

I keep you in my thoughts,
Not wanting to ever let you go,
Your trust is building for me, and I smile still proudly.

I brighten your sky,
Showing you the silver linings strewn within you.
I want you to help you get stronger,
I want to be yours to keep.

Just take my hand,
And let me prove that I am made to trust.
