I used to hold back messages to the man before
you,
I never thought I’d feel once more
the ache I thought I’d felt before.
Now every night, I check the light—
are you still up? Are you all right?
But still I wait, I say no word,
afraid my voice won’t even be heard.
I never thought I’d be here again,
wondering where you are,
wondering if you even miss me.
I miss the peace your love had shown—
the way it felt to not feel alone.
You gave me safety at the start…
so where now hides your once-full heart?
I miss the quiet safety you once wrapped me in,
the warmth of being sure.
Tell me…
where did it all go?
