meet me in the In-Between

The missing escalated
Stole my sleep
Rearranged my sanity
Left me soaking in the ache
Lonely

I’m sorry
Because I think it did the same to you
Something about holidays maybe?
I could be all wrong
But the compass of my heart pulls strong
To you
I somehow feel it’s true
That the fire burned & scarred you too
I’m sorry

Can there be no in-between?
A place where the missing binds us
Resting in a happy peaceful scene
Without the shattering blows
Of impossibilities?
I’ll meet you there!
I’ll hold your hand
You’ll draw my cheek against your chest
To hear your beating heart
Pulsing rhythmic just for me
We’ll be content in that in-between
Where love resides
Without the pain of “when?” & “never?”
Let’s stay there & just dream
Of “someday” & “forever”
I can’t stop loving you
Nor do I wish it
I just want to find
A better way
A place
Where our colliding hearts
Find peace
Together
