There is comfort That sits at the end of the sunlit hallway A familiar soul resting Against the trademark white and blue
I find warmth in your jacket-clad grasp And in your groggy, yet reassuring smile Our voices contain remnants of 2 in the morning But your eyes still twinkle beneath your heavy eyelids
There is sweetness In the words that roll off your tongue And in your unexpected embraces That melt my heart into honey
I find shelter in the familiar roars of laughter That ricochet and bounce against the walls The same ones that have held me Since my younger and simpler days
There is light That radiates from your face A brilliance impossible to ignore, a candle igniting another And I long to bathe in that heat day after day
I find sorrow in knowing That it won’t be yours that greets me In that sunlit hallway anymore Not for a while, not for a long time
There is hurt In the way you say “see you soon” But there is also love in your goodbyes For I know a warm “hello” is sure to follow
I find peace because I am sure That there will always be Other sunlit hallways for us to walk into But this time I will be holding your hand
