Somewhere inside we are still connected
somehow I believe we always will be.
I love you and I don't see that ever going away.
I seek refuge but always seem to be anchored.
I found you in the tears and pain of a little girl.
Same place I found you before.
No matter what I find that cautions me to stay away,
cannot shake whatever I have inside me.
So I keep my distance with my heart hidden away somewhere with you.
I don't know how to get it back or if I ever want it returned
I do love you but somehow it's different
I don't crave you physically
I don't need you arms wrapped around me or that sense of safety I had felt.
I can do that on my own wrapped in the embrace of those who have always held me so close.
Somehow I had forgotten them
but I can't forget you.
