I saw you

Brother...

I saw you.  We couldnt look at each other, but I saw you.  Broken.  Dying.  Homeless.  But still proud.  Did God forget you, or was it just me that ignored you??  Looked away so our eyes wouldnt meet.  Its the fear you bring me.  I know deep inside... Im not better than you.  I am you.  One strong wind and we're in the same place, so yes you terrify me.  And yes, maybe I give you that dollar in my pocket, but we both know that wont help you.  All it'll do is make me feel better as I sip my cofee and walk away.

I see you....

I love you.  And your the best kind of love I could have.  The kind that doesn't love back.  I love you still.  Hate me.  Run from me.  Ignore me.  I love you.  Maybe someday... Maybe we can be together.  ... then you wont have to hide from me.  From your feelings.  Changing yourself, distorting  your true inner self so that  I dont recognize you.  Your new faces cant hide you.  No matter how ugly they are.
