You Know Me and I Love You

You know me and I love you
The walls crumble all around
Yet I hide my feelings from you
Enveloped by the crashing waves, I drown
Breathless, panic, I call for you
Desperately reaching
But do not move, be still as stone,
You cannot grasp my hand stretched wide
I work and struggle on my own
This raging storm I will survive
I will not hide in your protective lee
From my battles, I find strength
Independent, courageous, I push through
When I arise, when I grow my wings
I will come for you
Wait for me
I have found myself
And I still love you
