All This Time

So many years ago now, you dropped a pebble in the ocean,

the ripples radiating outward from yourself to the furthest realms,

and then they hit the shores of distant lands and reflected back; 

Those ripples carried me far away, and on lonely seas,

but when they found you again, I was complete,

made whole, even with the scars we bore from life's' cuts. 

I was sent into the world alone and scared, but I grew and survived,

learning the turns with my cunning, to eventually find you 

in my travelling. And now, we enjoy each other's company like we never could before,

time spent together, the best time, whether we sit and talk,

or do something else, it's all fun to be had and enjoy...

as we trade stories, and exchange treasures, we laugh and cry together 

finally understanding what normal must have been all this time.
