safety

I find I want to say "I love you"....
do you believe knowledge is a mirror?

What if
I find it in me
to be okay
happy
content
close to joyful

alone

why does that scare me, too??

I truly believe the only thing
that matters
is how you connect to others

to make each other feel and know
we are not alone- even when we are-
to reach into the pain of the heart of someone else
if not to lessen it
to allow
a connection

the music from my dream
plays to something
deep in you

that makes you real
whole

and time blinks forward
I find myself melting
sudden tears
because I realize how empty I am
without your smile and
the safety
of everything
you.
