Then come to know me as I am
Not as you think me to be
Not as you fear me to be
Not as you misperceive me to be
Come to know me as I am
Please take note of this truth:
If you do not come to know me
As I am
If you do not come to know me
At my core
Then I remain a stranger to you
And though we can
Befriend a stranger
A stranger is not a friend who is missed
In a word here is what differentiates
A stranger from a friend:
Trust
Once you know who I am
You will know why you'd want me near—or not
Once I trust you to know me as I am
I would like to be the friend who helps you to understand
How one day your positive attitude holds me close
While the next, your negative attitude pushes me away
So if you hope for us to be friends
Then I hope you'll take this to heart:
I can not be the sun
That warms your life
If 'something' in your attitude keeps
Raining on my parade
If upon extending
I am sensitive to your needs
I need to trust
That you can be sensitive
To mine
