Just Know

did anyone ever tell you,
just how great you are?
you deserve the praise.
soak it up, sir, and accept it.
accept it, and believe it.

i know your heart’s in there,
and we’ve stretched its strings to the max.
the tightness in your throat grows,
as you struggle over the threatening tears.
you’re so happy, but you won’t show us.

everything i feel is wrong.
my heart screams out to you,
and i can’t hear what it’s saying.
i just want you to be happy,
but it’s too much.

ignore this all,
and just remember we love you.
i love you.
it’s more than i should tell,
so just know you’re amazing.
