You'll never see the courage I know. It's color's richness won't appear within your view. I'll never glow the way that you glow. Your presence dominates the judgements made on you. But as the scenery grows I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater. heights. I understand what I am still too proud to. mention -- to you. You'll say you understand but you don't understand. You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye. But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie. You'll never touch these things that I hold. The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own. You'll never feel the heat of this soul. My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown -- to. you. You'll say don't fear your dreams it's easier than. it seems. You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so. high. But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie. You'll never live this life that I live. I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night. You'll never hear the message I give. You'll say it looks as though I might give up this. fight .... But as the scenery grows I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater. heights. I realize what I am now too smart to mention -- to. you. You'll say you understand; you'll never understand. I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why. I don't know what to believe in; you don't know who. I am. You'll say I'll need appeasing when I start to cry. But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie.
