Now

He stared, dumbstruck
at the torrent and rack
bitter, rasping sobs
that filled the air between us.
Embarrassed, turning away
pulls me closer, makes me stay.

Nestled against him
arms I thought lost for good
wrapped tight around my body
his voice that was but a memory
rumbling against my ear
the source of these miserable tears.

He didn't know I'd miss him,
or that I want him, love him
he didn't know the price I'd paid
keeping overt emotion hidden
he kisses my cheek and mumbles low
"I know you better now."
