Please Be Me (again)

Here we are
I am at home
And so are you
Just each of us
Not two
I don’t know what to do
Other than say
I love you
So if you are trying to decide
Thinking who you want by your side
Please be me
Please let me be the one to hold you tenderly
Talk to you gently
Give you plenty
Most of all
Please be me as the one you call
For any reason
Or none at all
All I do now is wish
And wonder
What happened?
What’s up with this?
Please be me as the one you miss
But
Maybe not
I see how I am not the one you have sought
There were things for you I bought
And others I made with my heart
Still not enough for our love to start
Now
Again we live apart
It’s up to you
How or who you do choose
And even after all this time
The ups and the downs
The unread rhymes
And paintings left behind
I still hope that when you look for someone to see
Someone special
For yours just to be
I do
And will always hope
That, that one be me
