My Destiny

The shadows of the dawn bring remembrance of a time lost to memory

A better time, an easier time?

The answer is as unknown to me as to why I stand here in the rain starring up at your window lost as a compass with no true north

The truth is I don’t know what to do with myself without you

I find myself absorbed in thought letting my feet lead themselves, or perhaps better yet to say my heart because I always wind up in the same place, in the same spot, starring at this all too familiar window wondering if you are there, thinking of me too

I allow my feet to carry me home although the thought of being somewhere we were happy, somewhere I held you close, felt the beat of your heart so close to mine threatens to destroy my already shattered soul

I turn the corner following the familiar path I have trodden between my house and yours, not sure what I will do in the silence of my own mind dreading another night without you and there you are standing in front of my house, starring up at my window

My heart skips a beat. As you turn to face me tears stream down my cheeks as I run to your arms and quietly whisper, “I’m so sorry.” Your lips brush mine and I can taste the salt of a thousand mingled tears

As you hold me close I feel the warmth and love emanating off you gently knit the broken pieces of my heart back together

The rain starts to slow, the clouds part and we are standing in a ray of light so bright beckoning us into the future

On the wind a voice whispers, “Since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”
