I Will Know You

Like the layers of a mystery, uneasy at being solved
I try to coax you from inside yourself
Seeing the beauty, feeling the tenderness
Patience doesn’t come easily
But patient, is what I must be
Turning your pages slowly, gently
I smile when you reveal yourself
Moments stolen from time
I ache just to hold you, trusting, in my arms
Dream wildly of moving with your body
To this rhythm in our minds
Where before, there were past loves
Old stories of broken hearts
I turn now to find you
I catch my breath
I see your face
Patience…doesn’t come easily
Too much emotion, for one to contain
Your mystery will unfold to me
And I will never be the same

Patience...doesn't come easily...

This will all come...

the archives are treasures to explore, to find those whom you seek....

well done, JLR!

I feel so connected to this piece. Beautiful is the glimpse of a hearts soul.

Patience is one thing I
lack quite a bit also!
When people touch your
life so deeply, it is
very rare that you remain
unchanged.
