I see the way

You approach me with

A cautious excitement;

Not wanting to show

Just how much you’ve

Missed this moment.

The wrapping of arms

Followed by a deep relief.

A sigh, a welcome home

After being away at war

With your own mind.

Perhaps I have become

Your safe place;

Your pillow

On a bed of nails.

Perhaps my eyes

The oasis you seek;

My touch, the reason why

Nothing has made sense

Since our souls decided

To take flight and fly

Through dimensions

Only known to our

Single open eye.
