He would wash the sorrows from my skin
He would kiss away the pain with his lips
He would stand beside me and hold my hand
He would teach me to count my blessings
He would walk in time to the beat of two hearts instead of one
His bones would no longer ache with the bruises
His blood would flow freely from head to toe
His skin would sigh with the knowledge he'd found home

A silence grows from the remains of grief
Empty chairs where no one sits
The air we breathe a subtle shift
The light filled space
Leaves its shadow fingers trace
A whispered voice in stagnant air
Listen carefully you'll find her there

Over the hills and faraway
Is a place you can find your home
When you come to a crossroads
There is a house in the middle
Regret and despair may have been your guides
But hope and enlightenment are waiting there
Come walk with me strengthen your body
Come eat with me feed your soul
Come breathe with me relax your mind
Don't question why you are here
Just know it's right
Feel the heat rising from within
The answers have been here all the time
I will leave my old skin on the wind
I will take comfort from this beginning
And the smile that radiates from within
Thank you from the old hole in my heart
That's now sealed with a huge big grin

I am the breeze you feel on your tear streaked cheek
I am the words that are carried on the wind
I am the voice of the birds that herald the morning
I am the water that quenches your thirst
I am the fight that means you can put one foot in front of the other
I am the shadow that looks over your shoulder
I am the game you wish you played
I am the hands you clasp to pray
I am the knees you fall onto
I am the suns rays that penetrate the dark
I am the dreams that scare your nightmares away
I am the yes that answers your doubts

When you open the curtains shake of the night
Let the day break into the darkness of  your dreams
Let the sun burn a hole in the troubles of yesterday
Breathe in the newness of the hours you have been given
Let the shadows lengthen friendships strengthen
Smooth out the creases of spiteful words
Reclaim the joy of an unblemished day

In that split second everything changed
My thoughts became your dreams
My dreams your realities
A seemingly innocent look into depths of our knowledge
An insight into the life written in the stars
And the scars of a former existence
We didn't know we'd know each other again
I'd forgotten to remember you...but your eyes I have always known
They grew large in my imagination
Letting me see the stories you have hidden
You knew right then I had the key to the door
So you could realise and be thankful
for what you've been given

She was.
So I can be the person I'm supposed to be.
And the person you will become.
