With You

And there you were
right next door
and when you opened the door and let me in
I lost all words
every single one of them
The love that was there
was so deep
I couldn’t speak

You had two big dogs in the house
male and female
your gentle companions
I petted them while looking at you
and at that moment
all things were truly well

When the time came for me to leave
we embraced and I knew
that the bond between us would be always there
no matter what the seeming distance was
I had found you
and you had found me
