You know the number of hairs on my head you
You know the number of breaths I have left
You know the seconds until I will hold a babe of my own, or if it will be a child I love as my own
You know my thoughts before they form
You know the depth of ache in my heart
You know my joy, a sweet gift from you
You know each tear I have cried, each smile I have made
You know when I hide behind a facade and how I long to be known
You know my hopes and dreams
You know I long for the man you have planned.
You know when I’m overcome with loneliness
You know when I doubt your plan
You know the trust I hold in the depths of my soul
You know me.
