Together
There are times when I long for hands to hold
There are days when I miss to feel fingers on my cheeks
There are nights when I cry myself to sleep and wish
For someone to wipe away my tears
There are times when I pray for someone
Someone near
Someone here
Someone real
But there are other times when you’re with me
You smile, and I feel like being held
You speak, and I feel so complete
You look at me, through screens, through spaces, through time zones,
Through all the wounds I got from my past
Through all the worries about the future
You look at me, and I feel beautiful
There are other times when you’re with me
When I cry and you can not touch my cheeks to wipe away my tears
But still you stay, patiently you wait until the last tear drop soaks into my pillow and disappears
With your words you draw a smile back on my face
You make me laugh like no other
You say “together baby, together”
And nothing else matters
There are times when I long for someone
There are times when I pray
For someone near
Someone here
Someone real
For you
And me
Together
