I love you wherever you are

I remember when she said hello to me,

all fears of this world left me that day,

I was waiting for her reply, expecting her voice.

So cold was my heart alone in emptiness barren,

dreams void of her touch, light without her shadows,

nothing made sense the way she did to me.

Heart raced just to find the little message of love,

ripping into my dark world to show me something,

realizing all of this time I had been so wrong.

She held me close in a time when I didn’t matter,

darkness my name, light my heart’s only fear,

a whisper speaks of a dream long ago seen.

Sprouting up in her arms this empty man caved,

all thoughts of love were changed in her voice,

all unclear imperfections were clearly perfect.

I tried to push down my feelings behind my pain,

but she reached in and soothed the wounds of before,

painting this life with me in beautiful eyes.

I cry now only for the memory of who she made in me,

a hint of pain wrapped in a love so pure,

where once I hid away now I standout strong.

I lift my eyes to her today under December grounds of lust,

covered in white, bathed in red, singing for black,

only that she knows I love her wherever she has gone.
