In the corner...

In the corner of my heart is a secret place kept just for you. 

My heart is full to bursting. It is noisy and messy. There are hugs and kisses and tears. There are angry moments and lots of forgiveness as well. There is comfort and peace and joy.

There are people imprints all over it. People who came and went, a few special people who stayed and a very few that I have loved until death did us part and love even still.

There are pets and places and even foods that take up space in my heart and I don't begrudge them the room.

I wonder if it is possible for a heart to be full up, no more room at the Inn. Yet it seems to always have just enough space for the next person,  the next place, the next memory.

In all the bustle and confusion of a heart full to bursting is a quiet place. It is a special place, saved just for you. 

In the chaos of a busy life and a full heart you come to mind. A soft smile touches my lips. My eyes focus on something distant, unseen by anyone else. I've glimpsed the door behind which is hidden your space.

Deep in the night, I tiptoe to the door and I peak inside. When all is silent and still I slip through the door into that special place that I have saved, just for you. It is here that I rest when I am weary. It is here that I find comfort when I am afraid. It is here that I find strength to draw from when I am sure that I just can't go on. 

More then any thing else, this little corner in my heart gives me hope. In the corner I am surrounded by love and I can believe, just for a moment that fairy tales do come true. In the corner I believe that happily ever after does exist. 

In the corner are the memories of being safe in your arms with my head on your shoulder.  In this small space that is shared with no one else, is joy, peace, contentment and a love that is more powerful then fear.

I don't come often to the corner of my heart that is saved just for you. But I know that it will remain there for eternity.

Always, a space full of love, just for you.
