You wandered through the years,
from heart to broken heart,
the light once placed so gently inside you
becoming fanned fires getting ready to torch,
sweep over with nothing but love.

There was a dark divide between us at times,
a quiet we did not know how to occupy,
but words can be as damaging as prolonged silences,
sounds shaped around what we can say better
with the breath taken before lips seal with a kiss.

You swam through the rivers
time streams against broken hearts,
the faith once built so carefully inside you,
becoming cold fields ready to swallow the sun
and bloom with nothing but love.

There was a ghost between us at times,
hauntings we did not know how to stop the dark loop of,
built around keepsakes we can exchange better
with fingers interlacing before moving towards phantoms
that cannot seal away what we are.

You formed and brought me through
to years of collected dreams,
everything below looks like a city of the bright stars
inside that once came close to collapsing you.

Becoming vast winding roads of pure light,
energies ready to crash and explode
into love blooming all around us.

Where sounds do not need to shape around
the words you've carried with you for years,
the messages we wish to pass along to one another,
promising to let no divide break our hearts again.
