You are both the direction and the lost pieces of my heart
Nudging me softly to the road less traveled, you have made all the difference.
I was wandering on the outskirts of despair
Happy in my solitude because company made the pain of isolation so great
Every word I spoke sprung from my lips
disjointed, and often harsh, and never something I was proud of.
You took my hand and kissed it until the company of your lips on my skin was so familiar it felt as if they had always been there.
And in that moment I knew I wanted to follow whatever path took me back to that feeling
No matter how long the journey
No matter how coarse the road
And as my eyes lifted upwards for the first time I realized then I could walk down whatever path I chose.
