Just what the doctor ordered

It was him,
slowly burning my fears,
taking away the pain,
the horrible thoughts,
all that led me astray.

It was him,
waiting for me in the hallway,
patient- yet restless,
checking his watch,
in sync with his heartbeat.

It was him,
slowly turning my blues into hues of bright yellows,
my insecurities into fiction,
my greys into the definite blacks and whites,
all of it- with a side smile.

It was him,
never showing creases on his forehead,
while kissing each crevice on mine,
so slowly, so lovingly,
I forgot I ever had sleepless nights.

And oh yes, it was him,
walking a step behind me,
not just to catch me if I ever stumbled,
not just to be the assurance if I was ever scared to go ahead,

also to soothe my wings every time I had to fly.
