i see you

no
i may not remember
the stories
the details
the events

but
i know
your essence

i watch you
even as i am talking to you
and i feel
with you
as you react
grow
change
take in
give out

did you think i would not remember
did you think i was not paying attention

the water runs deeper than you know
deeper than i know

in my dreams
everything is stronger

but in my days
i.
am.
with.
you.
