Longing A broken heart, angry words, lies meant to harm. Longing to feel the love of days gone by instead of the pain. Betrayed. Precious fragile trust stolen, trust once known. The secrets untold, the words unspoken, the truths I need to hear, truth in word and action to trust again. Lost, an open heart, in word and touch that was true and warm. Safe conversation, an effort to run from the truth, an effort not let me back in. Tears like rain. Chasing, trying to catch a frightened bird running from the storm. Prayerful, hopeful, holding to faith, for the time of honesty, the time he lets down the wall around his heart is near. To let the healing begin. Missing the we, we used to be. Longing to love and live together, two halves of a whole, one heart, one mind, one life, truly one.
