Once not so long ago
I was alone
I had been abandoned
Betrayed
Used and tossed away
I was grieving
Feeling unworthy
yet determined to
not give in
Then you came
and showed me your hands
open and giving
holding a box
all wrapped and true
This box is yours
you said
A present from me
All I ask is you
let it be
Don't Open it
Don't question why
Just take the box
and Put it aside
I accepted your box
It was hard not to peak
but I kept my word
and didn't seek.
Pandora I am not
I keep my word
but I must admit
That box could be heard...
Every time we speak
I think how lucky I am
that you came to give me
that box
Your friendship astounds
your grace amazes
My luck has changed
I am in constant dazes..
At times the box is forgotten
In all that you do
In the way you treat others
While just being you
I was surprised when you
Said. Today is the day
Take the box from the shelf
and rip the paper away.
I grabbed that box
that seemed way too lite
Ripped off the paper
and revealed to my sight
An empty box
There was nothing I could see
And then you said
The present was me.
