The Box II

 




You have 

  Changed everything, 

Just in loving me

   The way you do. 


Just by 

  Loving me. 


You have 

  Removed the blindfold 

From my heart, 

  Not with your hands, 

But with your honesty. 

  With your vulnerability, My Love. 


In who I am now, 

   You beat. 


My heart and mind 

   Increasingly less split 

In letting my past go.  


I would do it for you. 

  Because no other has earned it more. 

So brand new and yet timeless. 

  So wrapped up long ago, 

And now gifted. 


  In this box you gave, 

Your entire heart in it. 


I dreamt of him last night. 

  and I don't know...

What it means...

  For he the long flame of my heart, 

And so rarely, yet still, 

  He visits my dreams. 


The timing...to show up now. 

  Ironic and apropos. 


For 

    You 

          Both. 



I do not envy 

   For those who have to compete. 

Not with you. 


For this is a no contest type of love, 

  Now isn't it? 


I mean...it's you! 

  

I never knew, that you were mine...

  Because once when we lived our lives, 

     Side by side...

You were taken; 

  Already spoken for. 


And I loved just enough, 

  I wouldn't have dreamed of opening that door. 


Our respect for ourselves, 

  For the other

Meant so much more. 


I understand your sentiments, 

  Of deep heart ache and time lost over it...


But it matters not. 

  What is done is done my love...


Now an open life lays before us. 


You have gifted me....

  My own heart back. 


Something I have yet, 

  To express. 


How you retrieved it, 

  From him....

A dimensional mystery?

A Mastery. 

  A Mastery in you, 


Grown and taken shape. 



We have wheeled time back,

  To take back 

What was lost, yet always ours. 


You kiss and make better my scars. 

Your love, profound. 

  Your gift a challenge, I accept. 


Thank you, 

  The first gift, you have given me. 

The one that will remain mattered most. 


And as I unwrap 

  Your unsealed heart, 


I put it next to mine

  So as to keep them close. 


Now....

  You are claimed, here beside me. 

Beating in me. 

  The Star of your Light...

Rebirthing in me


  Everything that was ever lost. 

Hope grown roots. 

  Faith guiding you home. 


Whatever was done here, 

  A gift, of some magic

  


           for us both.
