Let me take 

Every ounce of your soul

And pour it slowly into

My hands

I will hold it and warm it 

And grab hold of mine With the other hand 

And work them together 

Until they are combined

This way, I can take some hurt, and make it ease away

And make you laugh with just a look

Or help to right your day

Give me all of you and i will let you 

Build me 

From the nothingness that I was to all that We could be 

77

You left

Your watch 

So I've decided 

To let it watch 

Me sleep

Each night until

We meet

I hold it close 

And feel the time

Draining from it's face

Into my mind 

It's in those moments 

Of you and me

That I feel safe 

And most at peace 

76

Even the 

Ordinary, and

Even the 

Everyday 

Becomes something

Even Better 

When I feel 

your hand

Or hear 

Laughter  

In my small 

World

 

When your

Footsteps 

Are close 

My global awareness

Is limited, yet 

So wide open 

To love

And to those footsteps 

To That laughter 

And to The touch of your hand

So I sigh and I smile 

And grab your hand 

Satisfied in the simplicity 

Yet 

Blood surging with electricity 

75

When you are gone

The littlest notion reminds me 

Of you

Like seeing your toothbrush 

On the ledge next to mine

Or seeing our pictures on the

Fridge 

It reminds me that I'm never alone

No matter how far you may go

My memories keep me company 

Until the next time that we meet

74

when you leave 

I sadly move to

The middle of the bed

But soon the remember

That the middle is where 

We meet to kiss

And share our dreams

And grab for each other's 

Hands, sight unseen 

So when I miss you,

And you miss me

Just remember that 

The middle is where we 

Will always be 

73

I think many

Think they know 

What that word means 

When they say it 

But I don't think

That I truly knew 

Until I met you 

Not just because you said it

Because of what you do

And who you are 

And it's impossible not to

73

I think many

Think they know 

What that word means 

When they say it 

But I don't think

That I truly knew 

Until I met you 

Not just because you said it

Because of what you do

And who you are 

And it's impossible not to
