Notes About The Poem

The Reason

You came to me,
in a dream- perhaps in reality
I am not sure how
this truly came to be -
darkness becomes light,
day sparkles so bright

You are the reason,
my reason to stay

Tears are forever locked away -
so hold me this way
in my night, in my day
in my dream, in reality

Whispers like a melody,
only for me- and I don’t know why
I don’t understand why,
so I softly sigh

Again and again,
and I realize then

When love echos upon the skin,
touching me
it takes the breath away
softly and slowly
you take my breath away

So hold me this way
in my night, in my day
in my dream, in reality

You are the reason,
my reason to stay

You came to me,
and you have taken my breath away
- a heart may not know
how this came to be

Tears are locked away -
forever locked away
so far away

Because, You have become the reason,
my reason to stay
----------------


~ That sweet ache lingers no more ~

Authors Note: These lyrics follow “Reach for Me”
* The Reason is why a heart chooses to stay. After being reached for- it is truly reason enough to stay. To stay forever. *

It has been a while since I've read this scribble of mine. Thank you Joseph, for curling these words softly around you. I agree, in a dream, you can stay. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

As I see it, your poem, “Reach for Me,” represented expectation postponed. This follow up poem, “The Reason,” reflects desire fulfilled. Very nicely done, Brandy :)

You are right Mark!! And, the reason was born first- but after reach for me came to be. I can see why they would be first. :) You and your kind words are always appreciated. ~ Brandy

You are right John, nothing else matters when true love touches the heart deeply. Simply leaving you breathless. I appreciate you and your lovely comment. ~ Brandy
