All I want from you...

When I reach a plateau
All I want you to do is
To point out the mountains that are still there to climb
(Obscured by the mist)

When I retreat into a shell
All I want you to do is
Coax me out gently but firmly
(Reminding me of the dreams still left to chase)

When I do not respond to you
All I want you to do is
Keep persisting doggedly.
(And not give up on me)

When I ask you to leave me alone
All I want you to do is
Not believe me.
(It is just a camouflaged cry for help)

When I talk to you
All I want you to do
Is look into my eyes.
(To see the adulation and unwavering faith)

Perhaps the mist is not really in the Hills after all.
It is in our minds
And I need to sever the layers.
(To help you look through it)
