...Because Of You

Karyn Indursky

 

I knew from the moment
I looked into your heart
through your eyes
I could trust you.
I knew from the moment
we spoke
it was meant to be
a forever friendship,
not one of passing.
I knew from the moment
we hugged,
we were kindred spirits
uniting our harmonious
journey through life
to hold hands and finish it together.
I knew from the moment
I cried before you,
you were special
for I did not
run or hide
my true self from you,
but gave it to you fully.
I knew from the moment
you cried before me,
you were my equal
in feeling of a unique bond,
not someone pretending.
I knew from the moment
we kept contact out of work,
you were sincere as was I.
I know now
by your openness with me
after everything
we've been through,
I never will forget
who I am and will become...
because of you.
