My head rests against your shoulder
And I feel whole again.
The slow, swelling music
Drowned out by the voice in my head reminding me,
"You survived."
As we move I feel pieces of me
The pieces he stole
Filling my heart again.
I feel whole again.
You look me in the eyes
And whisper quiet words of
Pure, unadulterated admiration.
I don't even look over at him
To see if he is watching me utter them back.
And I feel whole again.
