Paths

I know this path is full of winding twists and turns. But I can’t deny my feet its steps.  I thought I didn’t need anyone. I believed it was just a phase. But I kept waking up. Wanting you. Only you. I thought I couldn’t be worth it. I traveled the broken path for so long. My hands crawling out of the sand. Burning with every breath. How did I miss this. How did I miss you. You were right there. Just a few steps away the whole time. I never imagined this. You and I. Yet the Gods found the time. I believed in the lost. Because I was lost. I saw only pain. I couldn’t feel anything else. How did you see thru it? All my craziness. How did I fit in? To you? When did you know? That I could be more than I was?
