Hold me close, I whispered
See my beauty, I hoped
Love me endlessly, I prayed
I saw between us all that could be,
A hopeful dreamer or realistic visions of love,
Only time would tell
I thought of him, of life alongside him,
The warmth of happiness filled my empty heart,
I fought to rest this jaded soul
Deserving of truth, I questioned my intentions
To know freedom, to exist in peace, to live with passion,
A day, one single day, each day, every day, we love in hope
Time tip-toed by, taunting my angst
Patience nourished my body, quieted my thoughts,
All I obsessed over was his touch
A cry I never saw yet heard, accepted into his trust,
Anger too ashamed to release,
The rage of jealousy shook my every step
Confusion set in on the clearest of nights,
Rattled, not beaten, I dusted off the hurts,
Prepared myself for the insane ride this bond would endure
