Looking back at my own definition, I always thought that it was to see the unseen, hear the unheard, feel the unfelt...
to see the unseen
to hear the unheard
to feel the unfelt
yes, you asked me to wait.
and gladly i will...
i am relinquishing all control
so i can gain the moment i lost
i am giving up power
so i can change the future
fight for me
want me so badly that you will head onto the war without qualms or fears
look for me
in your life
in the now
in the future
resist your demons
so you can hold me close
i choose to be
now choose for me
such is my faith
i am blind
i am deaf
i am heartless
but now, i see
now i hear
now i feel
and yes, eventually, i want to live
i want to love
only you
It's the ability to understand without asking.
