A whirlwind of emotion
Swirls violently inside
An overwhelming mixture of
Relief
Sadness
Joy
And longing
So many could-have-beens
Swarmed this heart
Intense fear
Stopped me in my tracks
The supportive words from friends did little good
But the effort meant the world to me
Now in a panicked frenzy
I struggle to hear your voice
Words that were once comforting and clear
Have been lost to the static of anxiety
I need to feel your arms tightly around me
To hear the steady beat of your heart
My hair cascading over your chest
As you smile down at me
The rest of the world
Lost in your soft touch
Oh this will be
The sweetest day...
