What You Mean to Me
In your weakness I am strong
In your learning I am wise
Your confusion gives me understanding
In your separation I feel closeness
By your seeking I am fulfilled
Your exuberance saddens me
In your bonding I am alone
In your need I am wealthy
While by your consumption I am hungered
Your confidence frightens me
Your cacophony of sound gives me silence
Your restlessness, peace
In your old age you are my youth
Though my years exceed yours
In your depression you give me joy
In your day-to-day living I find a future
In your restless sleep you are my dream
From your cold stature my emotion rises
Your ignorance is my love
Your telling, my secret
In your learning I am wise
Your confusion gives me understanding
In your separation I feel closeness
By your seeking I am fulfilled
Your exuberance saddens me
In your bonding I am alone
In your need I am wealthy
While by your consumption I am hungered
Your confidence frightens me
Your cacophony of sound gives me silence
Your restlessness, peace
In your old age you are my youth
Though my years exceed yours
In your depression you give me joy
In your day-to-day living I find a future
In your restless sleep you are my dream
From your cold stature my emotion rises
Your ignorance is my love
Your telling, my secret
