To The Man I Love

Do you remember I saw glitter as the stars fell?
When my gaze found you and you lit up the dark?
Do you ever feel, in those quiet places of your heart,
That pull that you once felt,
The pull that brought you closer,
The one that tied your soul to mine?

I wait, without sad sorrows...
Yes, I wait with hope alive that you will hear me,
That my love, like the smile brought by a bit of Zen,
Will find soon its way to you.
I wait, wholeheartedly knowing that love,
True love,
Never truly fades.

I have carried you with me,
In the thrum of my very heartbeat,
In the space between my every thought,
My Dear, I know you have carried me too.
Even with silence stretched between us,
Even with distance claiming our days,
I believe you still hear my voice,
You still feel my love
Like the warm the sun makes upon your face.

Do you remember the way your hand felt in mine?
The way the world melted away when our eyes met,
Like we were the only two that mattered?
That love did not vanish...
It only waits,
Quietly, patiently,
For the moment when you remember
That you belong with me,
As I do with you.

You do not have to find me… ...I am here.
I am always here,
In the spaces between your breaths,
In the corner of every thought that lingers.
The door is always open,
The light always on,
Waiting for you to return,
For our return.

I know the world is loud,
Pulling you away, endless in distraction,
But my love,
In the quiet corners of your heart,
You know...
You know we are meant for this,
This love is not subject to change,
That no other holds a candle to,
Nobody compares.

So, I will wait,
Not as though I am abandoned,
But as the one who loves you still,
As woman who knows
That love, true love,
Will never be erased.
When you remember...
When you find your way back...
Know I will be here.

I always have been.
Loving you, I still always am.
