breathe




I have waited for what seems
like a lifetime of time and space
for this moment
we have loved and lost
been lost and found 
beholden,betrayed
idolized and scorned.
we have
fallen in love
and fallen out so often 
and not  just with each another

and yet I always knew
that one day
you would return
so here we are
with the mist just rising
as the dawn breaks
with the debris of last night
laid waste
come let me skim the dew from your brow
and gather the perfume of lost time
in my cupped hands
may i breathe the future into us
and hope 
that i am yours.
