We were safe.

by M MEM   Nov 5, 2005


We were sobbing,
Tears just kept coming and coming,
Rolling onto the dusty floor.
Little spots of clean.
Over and over,
I watched in envy as you were embraced by so many,
And there I stand,
Alone.
Then I saw you walking,
Walking towards me.
My mind in overdrive,
Yet once in your arms,
I was calm.
"It's okay, it's okay"
Holding each other,
For only a few seconds,
Easing a little pain from our hearts.
We didn't know then,
What would happen because of that hug,
We didn't know the secrets that would come,
We didn't know the pain that would come,
We didn't know the trouble that would come,
We didn't know the love that would come.
All we knew,
Was,
That for those six seconds,
We were safe.
