Letter to my Husband

          How Do We Get Back

Forever and always

That's what you said to me 

Standing on an alter 

So young and free. 

How do we get back

Back to the butterflies dancing

Hearts in our throats 

Beating so loudly 

Like we were about to explode

The glimmer and shine

Dazzling in our eyes

Staying up late 

Not saying goodbye

How do we get back

Back to what we've lost

Wandering in the darkness 

Of our empty hearts 

The funny thing is 

I still need you here

Still want you by my side,

To protect me

Cherish me

Hold me

Love me

I need you in my life

I'm not giving up on us,

On this crazy, 

messed up love

How do we get back

Back to that old love

Maybe it's time for something new

A new beginning

A new love 

Will you love me

In a new way?

A raw, emotional, desperate

Kind of love. 

I want to put back these shattered stones

Build them into a home. 

Raising what our love produces

And laying to rest my broken bones. 

How do we get back

Back to feeling young and free. 

Can we break down the barriers 

That bind our eyes and hearts

Let me in,

All of me. 

There is no world 

With out you in it 

How do we get back
