More than he even knows...

[Maritxu]

A person I admire,
even though we never met.
Someone who I apreciate
and of course I respect.

I know that he feels trapped,
and he thinks he can't get out
When he looks at himself
he only sees the shadow of doubt

But from the distance,
I can see a bright light,
showing the way, comming through
the darkest of all nights.

Everytime I look at him,
I can see the man he always wanted to be,
the person he now doesn't see
when he looks deep within...

A man who loves
a man with more
than a hundred hopes
the one who can do
more than he even knows...

That's why I write this to you
so you know I'm always
going to be here for you
Because even when you don't see
I can be your eyes
and if you wonder
If you have never touched a life,
well, guess what, you've touched mine...

Well, thanks Dave, I wrote it for Charmer this morning when I read his. I hope he likes it too

 

[Kyryahn]

A lucky guy this Charmer, I'd like to be able to inspire such strong and touching words! You should realize your worth man

 

[Charmer]

Oh, God, Maria...I...it's so beautiful; you captured me perfectly.

I'm crying right now. It hit me so hard emotionally. I can't believe someone thousands of miles away whom I've never met can know exactly the real me and believe in me so much. You give me so much hope, Maria.

This is the first time that anyone has ever written anything for me. You're a very special person, Maria. You touch lives wherever you are and in whatever you do. I just don't know what else to say...

I'm going to print this out and carry it with me wherever I go; it'll be my strength to keep going through this crazy, unpredictable life.

Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Reading this again here after 2 1/2 years............it still gets to me. I wonder where Maritxu is and how she is doing. A very special lady and one I'll never forget.

As for me, I've been working and volunteering a lot. Just not hanging around group sites such as Offtopicz so much these days.

But I look every once in awhile. But don't recognize 95% or so of the members here. :willy_nilly:
