ode to Ben
by kristie hurley
I stretched among heights
and dreamed a big dream
of someone to love and love me back, unselfishly
I wished upon a stare in hopes it would come true
The heavens heard my cry and sent me you
Though we are apart
you are always in my heart
So very near, you will be soon my dear
With all the tears I have cried
With all the heartache I have endored
I've never felt the emotion so true
Until I encountered you
You captured my soul
With your bear hands
The look in your eye
Makes me what to break down and cry
I accepted the life that I was granted
I accepted my fate of lonlyness
You saved me from an inevidable ending
You saved me from myself
