Enough Love to Go Around

I'd been avoiding

you,

for a long time.

Could not bear,

to deal

with so much.

Maybe, if I got busy

enough,

I would not notice,

you.

Finally, the call came,

to stop,

and listen, in silence.

And I saw you,

at last.

Our eyes crossed.

You looked at me,

reproachingly.

I could not sustain your gaze,

for too long.

Still you had made

an impression,

and I could no longer

pretend.

Here I come,

to meet you again,

and open my heart,

to you,

my friend.

I feel your pain,

and I cradle you

in my arms.

It's been a long time

overdue.

I tell you,

what you want to hear,

that I love you,

and I mean it.

I love you, whole.

Come with me,

my love,

and let us leave

the cold chamber

My heart's full

and I've got enough

love,

to go around us,

both.
