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
