today
i caught you
looking at me,
or at least i assumed,
for several times
smiling at me
as if we are friends

today
we talked
as if we are close
and threw jokes,
laughing separately

today
i don't know
i wanted to say hi
and notice you,
to let you know that
someone appreciates you

today
i wanted to say goodbye
to let you know
i'm leaving

today
i wanted to hear
how you share His word
and see what's in your heart

today
i saw myself wearing
a wide smile, the one
you gave me

today
i pray that you'll grow
and be a mighty man of Him,
of faith, of love,
of service, of wisdom,
and of leadership

today
i admit that
you are a threat
to the fences i built
around my heart

yes, around my heart
