I was slow dancing
between the words
of her breath
~
In every curve of every letter
of her words
I am present
In the spaces between
I feel her
~
I feel her
everywhere I breathe
everywhere I think
and everywhere I dream
Especially when I write and write
I write to trace the shape of us
so paper thin like memories
yet strong as love
You know even my ink sighs
when my pen speaks her name
~
For she placed her heart
in My gentle, capable hands
that instinctively knew
how to protect
keeping her
fragile nature safe
and whole
And receiving
the contents
of all the love it holds
and all the while
I lovingly made it My own
