Requite

Oh what a feeling!
What a glorious reeling
From your heart to mine
A sensation so divine
And yet so hard
To define

A cacophony of emotions
Hope against fear
Longing against fulfillment
And love against bitter
Memory
Clanging and bashing in the most trying of ways
Though comforting in it's shared weight

But you have given so much
When you but utter my name.
And you raise my dreary head
With a touch of your hand.
And your soft sweet voice
Urges my confidence
And fuels my optimistic tendencies.

You are there like the sun
Even when out of reach
You're just around the bend
And you wait with open arms
For when we can once again
Be warmed by our mutual
Requited
Joy

You are to me a pearl: valuable and wonderful to look upon
