you told me you had never
experienced something
as strong as missing me.
you said the letters never made it
and neither did your calls.
you explained to me the heartache
and i knew it was true
because i had felt
the exact same thing.
i don't think you ever let me go
and that night you told me
that the sea was not the place for you
because the place beside me,
was yours and yours alone.
i often think of our time on the harbor.
when the rest of the men had left
and we were all alone.
i felt whole
and i felt heavenly.
you held my face in your hands
and stared into my eyes
and right there we both started to cry.
and for once, in such a long time,
it wasn't out of heartbreak or
loneliness,
it was because nothing could ever
separate us again,
and that was something magical.
