Kindred Spirits

It’s been months since I’ve shed a tears
It’s been longer since I’ve had a reason
You gave me back the life I once knew
Showed me I could still trust another
Showed me I could still manage love
You gave me a better reason to keep going
A better reason to keep on living
A better reason to brush of the dirt
A real reason to give the world one more chance
As I sit here alone for the first time in so long
I wonder where you have gotten to
Where your attention was detoured
I wonder if I’ll see you tonight like you promised
Time ticks by and you have yet to darken my door
I know you can feel my thoughts
You can feel them like a fire burning bright
You can feel them against your own
The streaming tears are the only evidence
My mind has one solitary thought this time
To be in your arms, safe and warm
To be held close against your chest
The gentle rhythm of your heart
Singing me to sleep as it always does.
