In Love & War: It was Always You

 

I finally told her. 

   Not just hints dropped and tiny slips of juicy gossip;  

  No...

I relayed it all.  The visions. The Past. The Truth. 

       "My" truth. 

  I unraveled it, and set it out. 

  She knows now. 

I told her my side. She knows and has heard his. 

   All that is left is yours now. 

We are all rooting for you! 

I suppose there a few on my side rooting for me as well.  

  I held it so tight to my chest for so long. 

I buried it, which may have been the cause;

  As it grew, and never ceased. 

Now...

  I am halted alone, 

Amongst a Dessert Storm; 

  Rains thrashing and my arms up, and free. 

Is this the consequence of release? 

  Growing in Love? 

   Halted no more? 

Now....

  She knows! 

      I did not tell her I was in Love? 

Not in those words.  I just retold her the story of us. In My words. 

  and maybe one day, 

I can tell it to you. 

We laughed. And she joked. 

 

     and I appreciate her. 

She's rooting for you. 

  I thought that means something..

Because I always have too! 

    Good. And Bad. 

She knew. 

   She knows. 

All my secrets over these years. 

(and) anything I've had to say of you. 

And she is STILL, rooting for you, 

    Over THIS Ring, 

Because I think she can see...

  Where my heart lays. 

Where it has been, over this distance...

For a very long and buried 

     Span in time...

Since the day...

  We found ourselves caught...

And caught...

  By the other.
