kay allen Poet Rhyme

its not starting over if it never ended

if tomorrow happens to be what ive waited so long for,
then my eyes might start to pour. 
ill say yes,
although you already knew. 

i never lost you,
only tried. 
but not even once did my heart say goodbye. 
ive tried letting go, tried to forget. 
but something about you, your love,
my soul could not reset. 

i still remember my cue, 
to be held so safely. 
held in your arms where i feel whole,
to rest my head, and calm my soul.

youll open your arms, 
inviting me in, your love charms. 
ill always run to you, 
wrapping my arms around your neck, 
tip toe-ing just to reach too.
you hold me so sweetly, 
so safe, 
so secure. 

i refused every hug completely, 
only desiring your safety.
when i lost you.
but i never truly lost you, did i?
you never truly left.

if you ask me the question ive been hoping for
ill say yes. 

because its not starting over 
if it never truly ended. 

and maybe thats what love means. 
to find the way back 
to the same person
and knowing
it never ended
because
the relationship that wasnt ready to be over. 
it just needed some work.
