You came back
Flowers pressed
To your lips
A heart full of promise
And empty hands
Prepared to catch me
This time around
You came back
Treading carefully
Through my wreckage
Picking up the pieces
That shattered
When the door closed
Behind you
You came back
A shelter for my hope
A guiding light
For my wandering soul
You came back
And your lips
That once tasted
Of skepticism
Of anger
Left traces
Of certainty
Of affection behind
With each kiss
You came back
Restoring wonder
Within me
Wiping tears
From my cheek
Taking the pain
And whispering
That you missed me
You came back
Open-minded
As nonsecular eyes
Allowing the world
As you see
To be seen
Through mine
You came back
And not only
Do I see you
I see love
For the first time
