again. in time

I want to respond

I want to know how

I want to tell

how much it meant

to read those words

of careful beauty

 gentle pain

and concise honesty

I want to call

I want to find

I want to hug

embrace

I want to make everything better

but I can’t

not yet

I want to be okay

I want to be

and You to be

again. in time.

We are intertwined

for life.
