Opening Eyes

I look out into the world and have yet to open my eyes
What I perceive and what I see are never quite the same
My vison of what will be has all but started to fade
I do not lack faith just reality

I yearn to touch and can mever seem to reach
You are only but a step away and then a million more
Our union as one is a blessing to behold
Memories to cherish and store

I surrender you in my heart
Gain your strength in my soul
A mate you'll never be
But a friend forever you'll have in me

Trust and reliance you have found
Reach out and take
This gift I offer will keep you forever bound
I love you in the truest sense that one can love another

I never knew how simple that could be
Thanks for showing me
Now I can open my eyes and forever see
My friend who is right beside me
