Finding You

I look for you in the jostling crowd
Being pushed about in the angry human waves
I find you finding me
We move towards each other

I rejoice in your warm embrace
My tears fall freely
Relief washes over me
You are my beacon of hope

But then we separate
My hand lingering in yours
Our fingers slip through
I scream your name, though in vain

Then we reunite
Though covered in soot, I feel beautiful
Although our homestead can no longer hold us
Our lives shall be intertwined forever
