Notice Me!

I know things are alright
That the path we are on now
Has lead us to a smoother course
Once filled with rocks
And bristles and thorns that covered our socks

To watch you bathe
In the summer sun
To see the moisture on your skin
Glistening like the morning dew
To awaken again, with you

In you
A new light has been cast
I no longer hide in the past
It was dark and dreary
Horrid, it filled me with fear
It took leaving to find it was worse when you weren't near

Not to hear you
Sing songs softly
Not to listen to your
Breath breathing
Not to know
You were missing something

I can watch you bathe
In the summer sun
See the moisture on your skin
Glistening like the morning dew
I have awaken, again
In you.
