Tethered Together
Tethered together by two
different sides of the same thread,
feeling in their hearts a
love that seems almost unreal.
Sharing the same dream
and tethering their lives as
one in so many different ways.
Reaching for each other
in the darkness, because they
know that no matter what
the other is going to be there.
Revealing their deepest
secrets and thoughts
to each other.
Knowing that no matter
what their bond is
cemented forever.
Comparing their thoughts and
making known their dreams.
Telling each other that
the world belongs
to only them.
When they are with
each other it as if
the world has melted
away and disappeared.
The time runs so quick
that before they know
it the day is over and
they have to start it
all over again.
It’s almost as if the
more time they spend
together the less they
really want to be apart.
Tethering their lives
together in every way
possible and knowing
that apart is not an
option for either of
them any longer.
Tethered together with
bonds so strong that
they cannot be torn apart.

Thank you Kyler. Yes it is an almost surreal feeling to be so attached to someone. To be able to feel their pain and concern as if it was your own is an extremely surreal feeling.

It is such a scary, endearing, chaotically good, heavenly feeling to be tethered to someone else. Even when the tether is broken, and the pain it causes seeping into everything, to have been tethered to another is worth it. It is almost an ethereal experience.
A very lovely poem!
