I can see...

I know just how you are feeling,
I walked this path about a year ago,
And met the things you are now facing,
Trying not to let it show.

I remember feeling the emotions,
That I know you always feel,
Not knowing what is taking place,
Not knowing what is real.

I recall standing at the spot,
At which you sit right now,
Wondering why I ended up there,
When I got there and just how.

I know it will be awhile,
Weeks, months or even years,
Before you get to where I am,
And be rid of all your tears.

I know how this will happen,
In time you’ll see your reality,
You’ll know just what and who you are,
And you’ll come to me.

You’ll say “I have something to tell you,
But it is hard to say,”
And I’ll say “It’s all right,
I know that you are gay”

And you’ll say “how did you know,
Did I make it clear?”
And I’ll reply “of course you didn’t,
I walked that track last year.”

I can see this day coming,
When you come up to me,
And I applaud you with pleasure,
For finding your own reality.

Don't even ask who it's about...
