Roaming the county just to see
if there was anyone there to amuse me

Choices were slim, faces few
then lo and behold, I saw you.

A familiar face looking back at me
with deep, dark eyes that make it hard to breathe.

In real life we weren't meant to be
Despite my wishes, you turned from me.

I know, I know,
too much. Too soon.
But my heart is always on my sleeve.

But regardless that we did not last,
it was you who freed me from my past.
Was you that helped break the chains that
bound me. I am forever grateful that you found me.

I should have known as a Gemini that you
would always be free as the Sky.
But it's ok. It's all good.
Doesn't everything happen as it should?

My time with you was the key, to releasing the shackles I had on me.
And when Life thrust me back into my cage
and I was left alone to face his Rage
It was thoughts of you and our brief memories
That was the comfort, and the shield I wrapped around me.

With every slur and unkind word, with every attempt to get me to regret the time we spent
It was your bright spirit, your strength, and your deep eyes
that lent me courage and calm, and that I used on my invisible wounds like a balm.

It was you. Your strength must have been by my side, for that stressful 6 week ride, and the last 2 that went from bad to worse.
It was your calm and steadiness that gave me strength in those last hours, with food and items being thrown. Your cunning that let me sit, through insults, and attempted intimidation, and spit. Your peace that flowed through me, that let me hold my tongue and mind steady. That helped me wait until the time to act was ready.

So while our paths may not have stayed the same, you are one friend from which I will never walk away. You did what all that knew me could not do. And for that I will forever love you.
