The Air I Breathe

The few times I’ve happened upon A heart who I could understand, a soul Someone who I felt a kinship with, Like they were appreciative of my thoughts, Accepting of my heart, considerate And empathetic in ways that I can’t explain Away… It feels like springtime fresh, a breath of hope, Summertime showers flowing like a serenity Fading into the spirit – remembering the grace Beneath those dancing leaves of autumn, The solace inside a fire when winter snow silences Even the moon and stars…. The few times I’ve known someone like you, Someone who really knew me and someone Who really understood me – those were times When I felt like I could smile through the dark, Embrace the fears and tears, invite the beautiful Even when I wasn’t feeling completely steady The few times when I met someone like you, Were times that stand out in my heart, in my thoughts, Times when I remember – like I remember hope, That reassures and inspires, like a gentle promise – Falling away from the shadows, reaching through Doubts and believing – This is one of those times that only God Himself Could have written in my book, the one telling The story of my life – a story where you are more than Just a character… You’re even more important Than the narrator… for you, my friend, are the story’s air!
