Trust

The first time I ever heard this song was at a funeral. A dear friend lost her husband, after a long battle with cancer.
There were no hymns, though it was in a church. She chose this song. And she stood beside his coffin, with her hand on top of it, and wept as Roberta Flack's voice filled the hot summer air, and mingled with the sweat and tears of those gathered; so in awe of the love they had shared.
I remember, so clearly, thinking: 'I hope that one day I love someone so much, that every word of this song becomes true inside my bones. Inside my tissue and tendons and muscles and organs. I want to feel this way for my one.'
I heard it again, for the first time in a long time, today.
And I realised, my dreams had come true.

Look at me across the sea, for I go radiant, look at me across the night through which I sail, and sea and night are those eyes of yours. I have not left you when I go away.
