You came...

When we need someone the most, they show up out of the blue and comfort us.

You catch my eye and our sights lock

Focus on each other and everything stops

Time focused only around us now

Heart beating quickens as you start your way,

Weaving through the crowd towards...me.

I urge myself to breath,

pushing past the lump in my throat

as if my heart launched itself there

and I struggle to relax everything

as I tremble at the tips of my fingers and my weakened knees.

Stop. Think.

What is going to happen now?

What does he want? 

Cadence builds as I stumble forwards

My legs aching at the need to push on

I remember that face from anywhere

familiar features that then appear

Button nose and wide brown eyes

Consummate lips that swerve at the tip,

From where you smirk at this reuniting

Now you stand before me

flawless and tempting

your guard put down 

from the knowledge and understanding

I remember now,

I called you last night

My voice strained tight

I couldn't even fight through the hole in my chest

I gasped for breaths

Now trembling to reach for words

You just rap your arms around me and pull me close

burying my face into you chest and as you breath down my neck,

You speak quiet and sad as if someone just died

Reassuringly your mad and I know the reason why...

Your muscles strain and your jaw tensed

As you talk, your lost for air

saying "I know what he done to you"

You break at the end, 

then I pick up from where you broke off,

Crying "When will I mend?"
