Perhaps we'll never understand each other

Perhaps we'll never understand each other.
Loving doesn't mean that we agree.

If that were so, then I would say, why bother?
But there are things I know I'll never see.

I'm sure your heart knows what I don't yet know:
The pain of loving a reluctant son;

The anger, coming fast and building slow,
Of being helpless to control someone.

You want only that I grow up right,
But you know what right is, and I still don't.

I have to learn to wield my inner light,
And if I follow yours, well, then I won't.

I'm sorry for the anger in the air;
Though we fight, my love is always there.
