Souls


And I came to believe
That in each one 
There is this desire to be seen 
To be known
And to be accepted
 
To be loved for who one is
Not for what they’ve done or shall do
A naked soul
That is embraced by another
 
This is what you are to me
You somehow wrecked the walls I’ve built
Stripped the armor off
Gently took the clothes of too
And now 
Here I am. Naked in front of you
The first time I’m seen
You see me
You get me 
You love me for me
You accept me
Your arms became the blanket on the cold days 
Your kisses the pillow
 
When I sleep I think of you
But now I have sheets
Where are you
Are you just a memory? 
When my cheek touches the pillow I feel you 
I smell you 
I can hear your heartbeat
 
Souls... a mystical territory 
Because now we are connected 
On another realm
Somewhere far away
Seen as if it was watched through a stained glass mirror 
 
Never have I found harmony like this before 
Between my mind, my heart my body and soul
And you 
And as we’re climbimg up the pentatonic scale 
I’ve learned more about myself by being with you , then I’ve had through solitude 
 
You enriched me 
My life 
My being 
I wear you, us , like garments round my neck
Though you are not here 
Yet you are 
And will always be
