Always Listening

I was broken.
I heard unwelcomed sound of hurt.

But now,

I am listening for your footsteps
on the stones along the path,

I am listening for the echo
of your cheerful ready laugh.

I am listening for the whisper of endearments

I am listening for the sigh
that follow every kiss
As you tried to catch your breath.

I am listening for your heartbeat
that throbs against my chest,
and deep within my pillow
As you lay asleep on me.

I listen to your voice,
Just as much as I listen to my heart.
They are speaking the same truth.

When you are around,
I feel enriched.

My hungry ears are pressed
and alert, to still the beautiful sound of your laughter

Now I can See the positive effects you've had on me.
