How do I
Know you ask
Simple when I
Hold you I
Feel whole complete
Absent of absence
Thinking when I
Think I think
Of you and
When I’m not
Thinking of you
I’m simply wondering
You do see
Now that you
Have become as
Much a part
Of me as I
have become a
Part of you
And from a
Farm I was
Plucked by two
Loving hands and
Cradled knowing that
I’d miss my
Family but certain
I found a
New one with
You thank you
Boo for taking
Me happily home
And just when
Being walked to
The gallows a
Light breaks clouds
And shines truth
It stayed execution
The generosity that
Love is triumphs
Adversity immediacy temptation
I’ve always had
Faith in love
You did too
Come back into
My arms now
A free man
And yet you
Sleep far away
From me though
We’re touching now
In these wee
Hours I wonder
If I’m next
To you as
You are to
Me on some
Adventure or discovery
Some journey or
Quest fighting dragons
Or wooing princesses
Or what wait
One eye open
You say I
Know what you’re
Thinking you don’t
I reply I
Know what I’m
Thinking and then
And there we
Are dreaming awake
About each other
Morning my boo
And then when
The record us
Suddenly hits a
Scratch we pick
Up the needle
And start again
We do this
Often this starting
Over but each
Time we expect
A skip we
Realize suddenly it’s
Not there because
Our song is
Never the same
Because neither are
We are we
One day soon
I promise that
We’ll get through
Our songs together
