Somehow

Day by day, night by night,
somehow you find a way into my thoughts
through this obscure maze into a foreign jungle
of my darkened dreams and frenzied emotions.

Every hour and each time
I close these tired eyes and sigh,
somehow you become the air passing by
to cool my face in the heat and take my breath away.

Only a moment- just one-
imagining what it would be like
to have this empty space beside me filled by your presence,
and somehow you build this desire for a moment more.

Seconds fly, but time is slow,
trailed with conventional memories undeserving of remembrance,
but what the future would be if you were here;
somehow waiting a lifetime seems worthwhile.

The clocks tick and tick more,
the noise suddenly becoming aggravating
until I believe they are the clicks of your heels as you draw near;
somehow it has transformed to music.

Weeks wear on into months,
and the sweet escape has eluded me,
yet somehow you hold my fragile frame from falling
without a single touch at all.

Years go by, the seasons change,
but sadly I'm still alone and unpieced,
broken and wandering in my own little world, but what I don't understand
is why you left everything to somehow come rescue me.
