I Will Know

I stand outside her door
Hesitant
Knowing she is lost
feeling alone and isolated
Yet I hold back
Would my intrusion be welcome
or merely add to her stress?
I want so desperately
to walk through that door
take her into my arms
an hold her
Protect her from the stresses
that life heaps upon her
I want to stroke her hair
and kiss away her tears
while whispering soft words
of love into her ear
Will I be an intrusion?
Or will she fall into me
allowing me to take her burdens
upon my shoulders?
Tonight, I will hold her
as she sleeps
Keeping the demons away
And she may never know
that I was there with her
But I will know
And I will keep her safe

Oh Jonas...this is so tender and exquisite.  I know just how it feels, on either side.  I'd say she was one lucky girl to have you intrude.  (grin)  Speaks volumes of your feelings, and your heart.  I believe it's gold?      I too, know how it is to be there, even if you're the only one who knows....can definately relate.
