You've never held me so closely
or as tenderly, dear.
The lies built up inside you
and created a barrier of fear.

Your smile has never been as real
or as heartbreakingly sweet.
Your heart thumped so timely
without skipping one beat.

I sensed your truth
for the first time yesterday
I wanted you more than ever
and in so many more ways.
I wanted you back without waiting
the long, coming days.
To run free, away from your disease
and into the sun's bright rays.
I only long for you, love
without all of your pain.

You really gave me comfort
I can never explain
I only hope to have it back
one day, after your addiction wanes.
