Stopped

I see you.
I stop.
No, we stop.
We are both stopped.
Knocked off course by our collective force,
We stop.
I check my breathing,
Then my heart,
Okay not completely stopped, that’s good.
“I miss you, It was hard while you were away.
It got harder and harder each day.”
All the things I do not say.
Then after a breath,
We stop being stopped.
We smile,
We talk a short while.
It’s far too early,
I go back to bed.
But now I know that you’re home,
You’re in my head.
And I’m happy.
Because when I stopped,
You stopped too.
And that’s something I didn’t expect you to do.
