Connected

There was a wall between us, like a fort, it divided. You were safe inside and I was left outside. Everyday I’d come to you, just to be able to hear your voice. You made hours feel like minutes, your very presence was supernatural. You could make my darkest days seem so bright. You told me you had to go away for a while and you made me a promise I would forget. You told me that we would finally be connected, that we could see face to face, that there would be no more wall between us. It would finally be just us.

I’d never thought these days would be so dark, it felt like an eternity had fallen upon me and time froze with fear. There was no more light, there was no more conversation. There was nothing. We had been separated for so long we didn’t know each other anymore, or so it felt to me. You had disappeared. Why would you turn your face from me, did you really have to go? This bond I have to you is too strong for me to bear. I looked at that wall every day like I was an ant and it was a giant. It was the one thing that took you from me, how could we ever be together.

The sun rose this day and I remember how it felt. Like your hand on my should giving me comfort and reassurance. Today was the day, the wall came crumbling down. You gave your word and there I watched as it fell like dust. It no longer bore a resemblance to the division between you and me, it was no more. We could finally be together. We could meet face to face. You let me in to your kingdom and I could finally see what it meant to be you.
