Somehow.

He walks in
With his eyes set straight ahead
His face fighting a smile,
He knows
Just what he's doing

Her eyes glance upwards

And her world explodes into

Light

Sparks, fireworks everywhere

But they're blurred

From the sudden, stinging

Tears

He sees those eyes

A reflection of their shared, hidden hope

Bursting forth now

Brilliant and so

Beautiful

They've made it.

How?

He's here.

He wasn't supposed to be

She didn't let herself hope

And yet

By accident she kept looking out the window

By accident

She jumped at every opening door

Did he do okay?

Was he wrong to keep it from her?

No,

Here she comes now

Running at full speed

Crashing into his arms

It's so hard to let go

But the thing is,

She already did.

And now he's here

No more letting go.

Somehow,

Thank you.
