                 I left you at the bottom of my soul

I left you at the bottom of my soul
Days & days of some of your life sank to the bottom of me & all because I cared
The eyes of my heart were always with you, they probably always will be
We are the same you and I: when I see you, I see me & am always glad that together we are alive
But this is no coincidence
Your presence truly is, built on a strong foundation of sense

Your sense to love is powerful
Your sense to listen with the highest touch of clarity
Your sense to feel the difference
Your sense for freedom &
Your sense of being.
And now I am hoping, your sense to forgive.

You now have to sense & understand exactly what forgiveness means to you & this will change everything.
You are carrying a thick string knotted in a bundle: quietly try to undo it
It will speak to you
Understand who your friend was and why
See the strife & the hell & the abuse if you think it was there
Ask nothing if you have this far and
Just let your sense for time tell you exactly what you need to know

I left you at the bottom of my soul to tell you this
Because there was no telling where I could be;
And now I am standing here looking at you reflecting me & I am not wondering why we keep saving each other.
It is because in times of our trouble we switch on the light to see each other

We sink to the bottom of the sea first;
Cry until there is not a tear left;
Work until the sun sets;
Lose as if there were a big prize &
Yawn as though boredom were in style

But at the bottom of it all there is us, lining at the very bottom of each others’ souls, waiting to lift each other up
Waiting to remind each other that we are alive
Our skin
Our beat
Our rhythm & our words are alive to always be together.

Never wonder why you lie at the bottom of my soul;
It is truth invested in time to always care for you and you for me

Keep lying at the bottom of my soul and stay there until we soar
