I see you as you are
And you need to be seen
You may not have been seen like this
But if you're just words on a page
Never in the same room
No looking
No hearing
Not feeling you
Yet if I see who you are
You can see who I am
And I need you to see who I am
Not just some idea
Of someone to be
But someone you see
Someone you feel
Someone you know
Why must this be?
Because few ever see
And I need to be seen as it's true
I need to be seen
So I’ll know who I am if you do
It doesn't matter you think
I am who I am
But if you see who I am
Then you show me you can
I cannot be free
until you see it is me
Some see for a while
And that makes me smile
To reveal something more
Than has been here before
But unless it is true
I cannot come through
Just a shadow
Is all I can be
I want to be more
but I cannot be sure
and so all I can do
is make sure I see you...
Only what happened before
made me want to know more
an intimate you
a physical you
in love with you
And while it is true
I am close
And you'll see who I am
Should it not last
I lose myself fast
Without you to see
I'm no longer me
What's left is all in the past
And you need to be seen
You may not have been seen like this
But if you're just words on a page
Never in the same room
No looking
No hearing
Not feeling you
Yet if I see who you are
You can see who I am
And I need you to see who I am
Not just some idea
Of someone to be
But someone you see
Someone you feel
Someone you know
Why must this be?
Because few ever see
And I need to be seen as it's true
I need to be seen
So I’ll know who I am if you do
It doesn't matter you think
I am who I am
But if you see who I am
Then you show me you can
I cannot be free
until you see it is me
Some see for a while
And that makes me smile
To reveal something more
