Heal

Your frigid fragile fingers
have been torn from my grasp.
I knew this had to happen
but without you I am left incomplete.
Jokes have lost their humor.
Memories have clouded over.
What changed?
Will you ever tell me the truth?
******
Use me as your shield,
I will protect you.

******

I’m too late.
I’m sorry.

Innocence will forever be a stranger 
unknown, fearful, and in your case...
dangerous. 

*****

Its been but hours since these new accommodations,
yet it’s been months since I understood.

I miss my best friend.
The one who trusts me.
The strong willed girl who let nothing hold her down.

I will wait, for you to feel better.
No distance can change our friendship.
Go, heal. 
Come back only when the time is right.

I know your scared,
so am I 
but I believe in you.

***

Lots of love,
I miss you already....
