I cannot lie,
seeing you meant more than I can measure.
I don't know if due to distance
or my sketchy memory,
but I was blown away by your beauty
and how easy you are to talk to.
When I’m with you
it feels like I’m exactly where
I'm supposed to be,
like my unsettled soul is home.
I accept that it's a long shot,
but have always been
a comeback kind of kid,
so, hope today is the planting of a seed,
the start of a journey
along our road to renewal,
where we find ways to remain,
not only in each other's lives,
but significantly important to each other.
