Then Came You

After heartbreak there is
nothing.
For so long there is only emptiness.
Shallowness.
No focus.
No purpose.
Then came you.
With your laughter-
which was contagious.
Your warmth,
taking me over from the
Inside,
Out.
Then came you.
With words that carried
weight, and left
their footprints on my
heart.
With passion, and drive, and
Fervor.
You.
You.
You.
All wrapped up in me.
In me.
In stolen moments, and
lingered embraces.
And the nothingness
fades.
Then, there is something.
Then, there is you.
Only you.
