You ask for truth and give the same,
no shallow word or hollow part.
You do not play the surface game,
but offer up a naked heart.
I dove beneath the rising tide,
to find the light within your eyes.
The secrets that so many hide,
in you are stripped of all disguise.
And in that dark and quiet deep,
I found a light I thought was gone.
The buried hope I could not keep,
now glitters like a rising dawn.
      In finding you, I found my way
      to parts of me long cast away.
