57 Words of Love

I want you 
	I need you 
		I love you 

 Where are you? 

 I see you 
     I feel you 
     	I''ll open my eyes 
    	 and I'll see what you see 

 But I'm blind. 

 I'm happy 
     I'm open 
    	 I'm waiting 

 Where are you? 

 I hear you 
     I'm looking 
     	But I can't see 
     	and I know I will always 

 be behind.
