We Don'T Have To Be The Same Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

We don't have to be the same

to feel the same feeling inside

Our hearts say so much without so much as a word

They speak in a language all their own

like a prayer finding it's answer in the wind,

When it rustles through the dry branches of Winter

I hear your imagined voice

and long for the touch of your hand in mine,

knowing I will be held safe and warm in your company

My own need is great but greater is the feeling

the uspoken feeling that your heart feels the same

We feel to be like puzzle pieces

so unlikley and different

but fitting somehow as if hearts are meant to mesh

and we can do little to stop the pull

I miss you like the moon misses the night sky

Is this what it feels like when dreams begin to come to life?

If not, please don't say

As I dont wish to wake up from this dream.
