part of me

you are a part of me

whether or not

we are

together

or apart

for this I know deep inside

your heart and mine

are very old friends

there is a line we draw

in the sand

trying to keep ourselves safe

from harm

but each and every time

you reach for my soul

or extend yourself in love to me

I feel the sheer joy of spiritual uplift

rushing in

like angels wings

giving my flagging spirit

breath

and even if all of these forces

conspire

to keep us apart

there will never be a time

you are absent from my heart

so often you say to me

I see you

in every thing I do

and if you only could see

through my heart

you would never ever

have cause to doubt

my love for you

thank you for loving me

darling

for surely it is true

you and are always

together

whatever the weather

even as we long

for the healing power

of one another’s touch

knowing it is at present

a impossibility

I feel freer in my soul

just knowing

that in both this life

and the next

we will both be

such a huge part

of each other’s heart

whether together

or apart
