To be whole

By: Rachael Howard

I am not whole
but only half of one,
the other lies in his bed
waiting for me

I am not whole
but only a shadow,
his kisses bring me
fully to life

I am not whole
but only a song,
his heart contains the ears
to hear me truly

I am not whole
but only a bright dream,
in his sleep I always
come back to him

I am not whole
but wholly in love,
my other half is so in love
with me
