The pain of a heart divided
among the loves of yesteryear
and the one it beckoned to appear
is deep and unrelenting,
yet eases when you feel him near,
regardless of his absence.
He’s the friend you hoped would find you.
His soulful eyes remind you
who you truly are
and the reason you will have to travel far.
The heart that is unrepentant
can find no reason for regret,
making certain you will not forget
the loneliness and heartache,
arising from the disconnect
between what you envisioned
and the life that you’ve been given
through choices that were driven
by your childhood fears.
You release pent-up frustration via tears.
When your heart aligns with Spirit,
it’s easy to recognize
a beloved companion from another time.
You see his soul reflected
in familiar eyes.
Though both of you are past your prime,
your youthful inner selves recall
many magic moments
from a distant day.
And present in the words you say
is hope to relive them all!
So you helplessly surrender
to shadows clothed in splendor,
to the passion and the pleasure
of finding long-lost treasure
in a new disguise.
For truth is never hidden far from view….
Though unrepentant and divided,
this loving heart will always know it’s you!
