In the long run

I don’t know who you are
but I envy you
for being so lovely

I can’t tell what you think
but I praise you
for what you do

I can’t look inside your heart
but still I sense
how you can love

I can’t describe your courage
but I know
my shield is what you are

I can’t find what you want
but I feel
you dream the same

You say in the long run, I’d be better off without you.
I say you are who I would run for day and night.
