Purged Understanding
© Eva Marie Cagley

As I wiped away
The moist dewdrops
Falling from your eyes,
I saw you sinking
Trying to hide your loneliness
That I could now feel.
Falling into a flooding river
Breaking down my dam
After years of construction
Flowing into you once more
I see a reflection of my soul,
Mirrors of your emotions
And lost dreams of tomorrow!
I felt the sorrow,
Engulfing us with one
Strong current
Having purged understanding
And I knew for the first time,
When I said, "I love you,"
What those words really meant.
