Together, Nonetheless.

Wait you say, and wait I will
I'd walk blindly, trustingly, if I hear you call,
Hold on, you say and you say we'll pull through.
You have safe hands, and I will surely fall.
Listen you say, and how can I not,
My heart beats to you, drumming silently,
I pick out your vibrations running fingers on wood,
Your message, among the millions at sea.
See you say, and I close my mind to everything else
Fingers entwined with yours and longingly so
Like sand through the crevice in my palms, water through streams
Time will, surely, effortlessly flow.
Pick me up off the shiny floor of my dreams,
Sew me together, frayed that I am, at edges
In the secure lock of your arms I place my head
Trust me, my love, like I trust your pledges.
Beautiful and red, like a summer's day
I shine violently, with the blaze of all my happiness
Starlit, lovingly by the diamonds in your eyes,
However distant it may seem, we are together nonetheless.
