If Then (Then Now)

If 

you are lonely, 

my darling, 

it is only because 

you have forgotten 

how my heart
beats its
steady rhythm
in time
with yours.

If 

you are scared,
it can only be because
you have taken
your hand
from mine. 

Dear one,
you need only to 

reach out
your hand

to find courage. 

If 

you are distraught, 

beloved,
it is only because
you have turned
your eyes
from mine,
and taken in
the chaos
of the world. 

Return to me,
Beloved.
Do not believe 

that you lack 

any thing- 

together, 

we can move 

mountains.
