My Other Half

by Marivel Guzman

Where were you, Love?
I knew you’d come!
I heard your little soft steps,
I felt your fairy wings
dancing to the tune of my breathless hope
I sensed you getting ready for the dance of love

On the sparkles of the rain,
I saw your mist curling in.
I know It was you, who touched my shoulder
When I felt all broken down.
I knew you’d come, It is you,
who saved me from the darkest dream.

Where were you, Love?
I smell the aroma of your shadow
Breathing always next to me.
I knew you’d come!
Where were you, Love?
I needed your warm presence next to me,
I want to hear the whispers of your voice.

Where were you, Love?
I missed your presence in my life.
I tried to forge in another hope,
I tried to call in other names,
but love is not a costume dress, that I can change.

Where were you, Love?
I needed you to come tonight.
The piercing shout of my pain,
will keep me awake if you don’t come.

Where are you Love?
I need to embrace your name again,
I want to snuggle up,
against your heart next to mine.
I knew you come,
I know you missed my voice touching your ear.
I know that life is half without my touch,

I knew you’d come,
I’m feeling warm again tonight. ♥
Love is not love,
if it does not have its other half.
