He took her by surprise
And she loved every line on his face;
Of his soul. And the corners of the duvet
Where he’d find her fingers,
Her heart.
Nestled amongst last night’s words
She remembered his voice,
When the kindness left his lips
And he told her she was remarkable in
All the right ways.
She knew that soon she would
Have to miss him,
Across the seas and changing skies,
And closed a tiny piece of her heart to
Bury the thought, because
In the end she knew
She was not invincible.
