What Are You?











I look at you and I think

And I look at you and I wonder

And I look at you and I wish

And I look at you and I worry

I calculate what will keep you healthy

What will be needed for your future

I try to see what makes you happy

I try to understand all your needs

And I tell people, like I'm some kind of expert, 

"She's like this and that and the other"

But I can never really tell,

Maybe I'll never really know

What it is that you are

There's so much of you

The me in you disappoints sometimes

The you in you always surprises, 

I love you, not because I know you

I try to know you because I love you...

And then sometimes, 

I love that I never fully will.
