If you could see me now...
Would you take back the words you mentioned so long ago...
The words that wanted me to follow in your footsteps.
The footsteps that were the imprint of the feet I climbed to dance.
If you could hear me now...
Would you hear the "I love you" I rehearsed as a child...
The "I love you" that innocently bid you good night.
The good night that one day woke to a cold, gray morning.
If you could touch me now...
Would you put your arms around me as you bandaged my knee...
The knees that once crawled along the lava floor.
The floor that I collapsed on drowning in an illusion of you.
If you could tell me now...
Would you say I made you proud chasing my own dreams...
The dreams you ignored in hopes I'd be more like you.
The "you" that you wanted me to see... the only "you" I knew.
If you could see me now...
If only you would see me now...
