Those were different days
when all we ever wanted was
to feel wanted.
& somehow we were,
even if we couldn’t see it.
I still remember when it all
came crashing down.
It was the most painful thing but
soon the hands began moving.
Before long, it had dissipated into
oblivion & suddenly light began returning
in the oddest way.
That was the day I realized I was never lost;
I just had yet to be found.
