At Your Side
I remember sitting there
At your side
The television blaring
Some kind of Bravo episodic crisis
You were there too
Sort of
In and out
Just working through the haze
I remember it so clearly
Just like the first time
Hours passed
But this time it was real
The crisis wasn't just on tv
It was playing out right in front of me
But the outcome was never in doubt
I knew you'd make it all the way back
I'll never forget that day
Because I was so sure
And because you were there
Showing your deepest core
And it was beautiful
Because in a moment of facing challenges
That would make weaker ones wilt
You soared and never once
Expected any less of yourself
You probably don't remember any of it
But without any filter
I saw you the real you
And my god
How special are you
