Breathing Again (Part 2 of 2)

Head above the surface now

No longer gasping for breath
    or wide eyed at the sting of the cold air

But comfortably treading water
watching you
waiting for you

Knowing
    - deep down -
        that we'll come through.


And one day
  I'll take you somewhere
to show you who I am
to show you who you are
                                    to me

and we'll sit amongst the trees
with the sky high above us
  the summer sun
      casting dappled shadows
while we talk.

And as the sun sinks lower
we'll wander back down
the old beaten track
that I know so well.


And there will be no more confused silenced
                            no more aching distances
                            no more burning questions in my heart
                           
                                                        for my heart will smile
                                                        as it does now
                                                        when your eyes glimmer
                                                                  with happy memories...

And your eyes
will not be the only sign
that you
              like me
still believe.
