Description: I wrote this, along with several others, in the spring of 2007, in process of rekindling things wiith a beloved ex. I'm not sure if even she has read it before, but who the hell knows eh?
Be Here -------------------------------------------
It all started
with one stoned line
On the day that we met
I didn't know at the time
I had been touched by fate
and graced by love
making me look at myself
wanting to rise above
my bad reputation
and my dark history
wanting to be so much more
than the mess that was me
So I started getting around
and made her part of my life
I asked her to be a mother
and to become my wife
To walk with me
through the trials of hell
to laugh with me
when it all goes well
She accepted it all
chose to stay with me
but what I envisioned then
proved not to be
Everything just slipped apart
for most of which I am to blame
So in the days I live now
my heart cries her name
My arms long
to wrap around her once more
I reach out in my sleep
to where she was before
Grabbing open space
my hands fall to the bed
with echos of her voice
filling my head
It's been 2 years
and still I long
to make right
my every wrong
Each one done to her
that she never deserved
To be able to give her my love
for her alone reserved
Others may try
to change my mind
but my feelings for her
shall never be left behind
In exchange
for a lesser vice
No other lover
could ever suffice
To fill the void
that's inside of me
A place reserved
for only sharati
The woman I love
the one I miss
The first person in a long time
to bring me bliss
A love to hold out
beyond my end in dust
I will wait forever
If I must
to hold her close
and whisper in her ear
"My dearest love,
I will always be here"
Submission Name: Be Here
