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.
