As I look around me

Nothing is familiar

I am in a strange place

I do not recognize any face

I search for someone I know

I am alone and scared

Winter air surrounds me

As I weave through the crowded street

Snowflakes fall around me

Gently a hand touches my shoulder

When I turn I see a woman

I didn’t recognize her

I can’t even picture her face

But in a gentle voice

With an expression of love and care she says to me,

“I think you should find your husband.”

I look around as my heart beats fast

The question rings in my head, I’m married?

I don’t know what he looks like

I don’t know who he is

But now I care about nothing but finding him

I step forward, searching everywhere

I see my good friend Jen,

But for the first time, that doesn’t matter

I want to find my husband

Whoever he was

Wherever he was

I want him

I need him

I sense someone behind me

Arms are wrapped around me

I do not need to look back to see his face

I am captured and content in his arms

I lean my head back against his chest

I know who he was

He was my husband

I close my eyes,

I do not know why I am so tired, but I am

And for once, I know I am where I need to be

This is where I belong

This is who I belong to

He lifts my feet off the ground,

Gently lifting me into his strong arms

I lay my head against his chest

Curling in his arms as he carries me home

I have never felt so content

I have never felt so loved

Even though, I don’t even know what his face looks like,

I know him
