Do you know?

Do you know on those days
When everything is wrong
And my eyes pop open not even seeing
The beauty from my window
When that awful sick feeling
Is so strong inside me there is
Absolutely nothing else in all the world
But that.
When I drag myself up
Just hoping to make ... The Feeling ...go away
Which of course it does not

Do you know the joy you bring me
When each morning you are there for me
To make it even a tiny bit possible to forget
For those minutes we have together,
The Feeling

Do you know how much it means to me
That you come
Even knowing that some days will be hard

Do you know the peace you bring me
The forgetting that washes over me
In the times we have.

Do you know that even if the day goes slowly
And things are not always right or wrong
Just a day to get through
How much I look forward to knowing, knowing
That you will be there for me?

Do you know that finding you there
Again late in the evening
The forgetting time with you
Helps me sleep
Helps me get through one more night
With dreams of hope

Until the morning sun shines again
Peeking in, the birds twittering their song
You, the sun, the birds, all helping me
Force my eyes open to face another day
With a tiny bit of hope.

Do you know, do you know
How much you mean to me?
