When I woke up this morning,
It was like something had clicked inside my head,
Lego pieces snapping into base,
Ideas and situations, becoming solid, with stout foundations,
I don’t feel like one end of me is waving in the wind,
Scars of disfigurement have been sewn neatly back together,
The sun shines through the curtains,
Even dust captures the light, and glitters,
The smallest things are often the most precious,
And there is beauty and joy in the smallest of gestures,
I love that I can picture your smile in my head,
When you’re not around, I feel lethargic,
But then again, I know it’s not forever until I see you,
There’s a whole new appreciation coming in your direction,
I can’t believe I didn’t notice this before,
Such new appreciation, how much respect,
All the little parts of you that roll into one big thing,
There is no negotiation here,
All that I tried to hide from, all that I tried to push away,
Has flooded me like a tidal wave,
Drowned my senses in something more than physical affection,
Bled out the poison from my brain,
Drip-fed to the heart with all those little things you do and say,
That once were overlooked, misread or brushed aside…
But which I am now thankful for, every day…
I see it now.
I see.
Thank you.
