And then, there was you

I had finally found my place,
by your side.

Things were starting to make sense
in this crazy world.

I had been roaming around
somehow lost,
until there was you.

I feel like I was but a seed,
when you found me,
that would one day yield
a beautiful rose.

And you picked me up,
and planted me.

And you were the soil,
providing me with
all the necessary nutrients
to blossom forth.

And you were the rain drops
from up above,
that quenched my thirst.

And you were the
life giving sun shine,
and it was good.

And I was growing
stronger every day.

And my buds had formed,
and the day would soon be at hand
that the petals would open and
revile their indescribable beauty.

We walked together
hand in hand.

And I felt so whole
with you there
by my side,
in my life,
and in my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~

But in an instant
you were gone.

And the thought came
crashing threw my head,
that I would never again
look over and see you
by my side.

And with you
went the sunshine,
and the nutrients,
and rain drops
that I so desperately needed.

And then I woke,
heart pounding,
breath racing.

And in an instant,
I was aware
that this was but
a horrible dream.
