You Were Here
You were with me
Holding me close
Cuddling me
Doing the most
You were there
I could feel you
I could see your smile
Your eyes gazing deeply, too deeply, into mine
Just us and no one else
Our best selves
Weaving your fingers into mine
Feeling the softness of your skin
You wrap your arms around my stomach and we walk together like two giants through a forest
And I’m listening to Once and pretending I'm there
And suddenly I'm crying, caught unawares,
Because it all had to happen to get me to you
I had to go through all the red, the green, and the blue,
And you already know
And you hold me close
So close I can breathe you in
Inhale
Exhale
Together
As one
I can feel you
You’re here
And I already love you
I already love all of you
I already know
You’re here
And you kiss all my worries away
And I'm blinded by your sunlight and forced into the shade
And we march towards each other with more purpose than a silent brigade
And I look forward to the day we meet
To the day we’re both complete enough
One and one make two
And I can’t wait to be with you
And when I'm sad I know
I'm okay
Because every moment
of every day
Every breath
And every which way
Brings me one step closer to you
