In Prospect

One day I'll tell you

How much it hurt when you looked away

One day I'll tell you

Why I kept coming back for more

One day I'll tell you

How it felt to sit right next to you

And yearn, unseen.

One day, when this all passes over

Maybe we'll sit and talk.

It'll be just the two of us,

In a place that feels safe

And I'll tell you what I went through

When I was trying to be strong for you.

I can't yet; you're not ready

But through all this pain,

And this heartbreak,

And this silence

I hope

That one day you will be

What I know you are

I saw an angel in you

One day I hope to see it again.

One day,

When the world isn't 

Attacking you anymore

Turning you feral in defense,

One day, 

When you find that angel within yourself

I know that day will come

I can see it in you sometimes

And you might not love me now,

But you will one day

And me? I will always love you

And one day you'll see it too

One day, when you're less lonely,

You'll see me here, who never left.
