she read his words and wondered if she was still his muse
she saw
side line comments left
leaving her to ponder if his heart still sang the letters in her name
she
read his words
and it took her back to moments when they met
conversations that led to lives touched
that led to minds changed
that led to love
she read his words and in each phrase
she
saw his soul
she knew what was real
she could tell what ran from his heart
and not just his pen
she read his words
and between each pause she closed her eyes and felt his hand around her heart
holding on to every beat
she
read his words
and even though life had taken them to different places
stood them in different corners
talked to them in different tones
held them in different ways
she
knew his words
they were warm
when she was cold
they were stable
when she felt weak
they were safe
when she felt alone
she
read his words and knew
this was for her
