"I’ve Got You Babe" Is Forever

 When you had to leave,I felt my heart split in two. The edges were jagged and I was hollow.

 

Knowing this,you gently cupped my broken heartin your hands and said“I’ve got you babe.”

 

You loved and nurturedmy shattered heart untilthe ache softenedwith the passing of time.

 

When you knew I was ready,you reached down from the stars and placed my heartback into a sacred space within me.

 

I heard you quietly say -“I have to leave, you need to let me go.”Your voice lovingly whispered in my ear“You’ll be okay – I’m just a promise away because you know … ‘I’ve got you babe’ is forever
