It took awhile

The beginning of us

It took years of waiting

To press play

I could feel you

Part of my world

Waiting somewhere

To be a part of mine

I could sense you

Your heartbeat

Strong and solid

Sometimes failing

Sometimes broken

Sometimes shattered

I could feel you

Putting it back together

Always moving forward

Never stopping

For too long

Just long enough

To mend the beats

With leather strings

I could see you

In my dreams

Not a face

But a presence

Calling to me

Soothing me

Loving me

Mending my own heart

Taking such care

To heal the seams

The two of us

Waiting to begin

The two of us

We took awhile
