Amicus


I have seen the way I see you, forever.
In the now and then, the same
Never worse, only better,
In honesty, not shame…

I have seen the way I see you, forever.
Not your lover, not your brother, in name.
Without end, or beginning,
Only right now today…

As I see you.

You should see the way I see you, forever.
In the shadow and the light, unchanged
Nothing will come between you and me,
Only the truth on display...

You should see the way I see you, forever.
In the mirror, and my eyes, the same
You will know in your heart
What I know in mine...

Like I see you.

Will you see the way I see you, forever?
Not my only, just my best friend, to stay
Never knowing if you’ll know
I’ll remain, as I feel…

Will you see the way I see you, forever?
At the end of your doubt and disdain
Receiving unending acceptance
No other manner, just in this way...

I now see you.

I will love the way I love you, forever.
With nothing to lose or gain
Lacking in understanding
Or capacity to explain…

I will love the way I love you, forever.
Till the end of my life to say
Dearest friend you are true
For the rest of my days…

As I see you.
