Sometimes…
I can almost feel you.

Hand solid in mine,
Heart beating strong beneath my ear.

I feel your arms
Holding me to you,
Hands stroking my back.

Warm blanket,
Safe embrace,
Strong hands.

Forever without you,
Never been with you.
But how can this be?

My constant companion,
Watchful guardian,
Gentle encourager,
Diplomatic secret keeper.

You know everything,
You see everything,
I feel everything.

Except you.
