Waiting
I hear you talking about walls
And see you looking deeply
Into your self, your heart.
I feel the hesitation,
And I feel your longing
To wander on paths that seem
Forbidden to you.
I hear the struggle within;
I see the changes you have made
And listen to the whys
Of the direction you have chosen.
I try to recognize your thoughts
And acknowledge your needs
And keep a distance that feels
Safe and reasonable to you.
I remain in the background,
But I do remain,
And I will be here for as long
As there are things to be said
Ideas to be shared
For as long as you might need,
I will be here with my hand
Reaching out to you
And when you grasp it
I will hold tightly til
You feel the time is right
To either pull me closer
Or to let go and move on
But, even then, know this...
As long as I am,
You will never be truly alone

No Good-Byes
I thought I had said my good-byes.
This morning I awoke
With the sense of you
Holding me close,
With the sound of you
Whispering softly,
Telling me that you
Would never leave,
Reminding me how
You would sit by me
Touching my cheek,
Filling me with
Dreams and hopes,
Filling me with
The security of
Your presence,
And I am so glad
To know you are still
With me,
And to realize
There are no real good-byes.
