I Almost Missed You

I boomeranged from one to the other
Satisfied with nothing, a wellspring of defeat
Different players and all the same games
They used my heart as a pincushion
I felt a stirring, then a tugging deep inside
And at last you hit me like a roaring train
I almost missed you
A dim glow in proverbial fog
Beckoning me to find my home there
When our eyes met I knew
I held on and held to my Faith
That your heart would expand to fit me
Proof that a miracle had my name on it
I almost missed you, almost lost you
In what if’s, could’ves and should’ves
Not to mention would’ves
Smothered you under the crush of past evil deeds
You never would have committed
Like a phoenix you burst into full form
Restoring me
And to think I almost missed you!
