The World May Never Know
But I Do
The advances you made
How they've changed the world
Yet, the world may never know
I Do
The insatiable appetite you had for learning and
How you made me feel.. worthy of having a good friend
Our closest friends will never know
I Do
The burden of living with survivors of atrocity
The trauma and the acute psychosis
How they made your life a living hell and the
Responsibility you felt to care for them
They didn't know the burden you bore
I Do
Not many knew the solitude you required
To question the answers
To make those advances and contributions
That make life better for so many
I Do
Did you need me
Were you afraid of being seen like that
You cared for them but wouldn't hear of it
Letting others care for you
Do I know how indignant it can feel
When you were once so capable, brilliant
In your quiet competence
I Do
Do I miss you
Dearly..
I Do.
