LINES OF THOUGHT © 2016

Because you need my affection

And I need your sweetness, a connection.

The gentle gaze of one who silently suffers,

And inside, nearly bursts with pain, all a-tremor.

I see in your eyes an endless sea,

Where the waves of sadness crash over thee.

But here I stand, steady and sure,

To wrap you in a love that's pure.

Because you need my love,

And I to save you from that intense shove.

Together, we’ll be shelter and heal,

In a bond of souls, strong and real.

For Nicola.
