Once Hidden In the Dark

Once hidden in the dark.


Hidden in the dark, I look at my once broken heart and see the patterns of the tiny cracks, starting to heal over.
As I move to my eyes, I see no more tears or a constant mist…
Well, only tears of joy when I see you.
As I look out of their windows, to the outside world,
I see the beautiful roses you have sent to me.
I smell their gentle scent, they have an aroma of a summer garden at dusk.
I use my hands to touch each soft silky petal,
‘Slowly,’ I feel each ripple and it gives my goosebumps as I touch my lips with them,
then I hear the door open and I know you are here and I am bathed in warmth and see only sunlight.
