Have you ever?

Ever loved someone so fiercely that it made you want to weep?
You’d hang on every smile. Their touch could make your stomach leap.
Understanding so profoundly how a need could run so deep.

Ever cried so hard but silently so people never see?
Choking down the feelings, of a heart that’s lost at sea.
Letting go of everything that meant anything to me.

Ever stood with complete strangers with a smile upon your face?
Thinking that the world around you can’t be such a hostile place.
Knowing that out there, somewhere, is a love they won’t replace.

Ever stopped to count upon the fingers of one hand
A tally of the people who have really touched your soul
And still had fingers left?
