twists and turns of life go on
new endings, new beginnings
constant
some friends never waver
a welcome cushion to fall back upon
never to be assumed
they are just
that
friends
but in our desire for our final, blessed, forever love
many of us become sad, hurt
as romance misplaces too often it seems
failure, loss, confusion, tears
too personal
we feel alone
others around us look
different
unaware, unaffected, protected, normal, busy
happy
their consciousness need not traverse
to that foreign land, apparently my land
a place that I know well
not a welcome land, but oft visited
too familiar, too painful
one day I'll meet another here
who, as myself, is only returned to bide
to wait and wonder
ever to question ourselves
seeking answers
why do we continue to be held captive here?
alone
maybe, this is where we must be
for, were we not
there would be no occasion to at last find
the one searching for us as well
I pray that my wife is here
that I may find her
that she may find me
together, to escape our prison
to arrive at that new land
where, finally, only joy is shared between us
we will have made our last arrival, anywhere
together
how strange the feeling
the air has never smelled sweeter
no song before has had quite this sound
so, this is what love has promised
it has all been worth it
I found you
