Forever in a Blue Moon

 

 

Forever in a Blue Moon

 

I knew I had met you
somewhere before this night
underneath the dreamy
guise of a blue moon


where your heart spoke
of familiar things
even though your
lips didn't know


I remembered you


you were that quiet strength
that championed all
my fears, my injustices
and all the tears I cried,
shouldering my weight


when all I wanted to do
was close my eyes and fall
purging myself from my life


I knew you were there


you were that soft whisper
that echoed within constantly
pulsing tender and loving warmth
throughout the cold and
dark shadows of my soul


even when I was too afraid
to feel anything at all


I always felt you there


you were that gentle embrace
that held me close
during all the
lonely beats of my heart


reminding me that
I was never alone
you were always there


you were with me


and now I know
I always knew
