Moments of abandonment,
That's where I find myself,
Achingly familiar ground,
I see my past so clearly,
See you,
See my younger self,
I see your smile,
And all around me is safe and calm.
No years of lost yearning
Craving a word or your voice,
Wondering,
Always wondering if,
If you really knew,
Knew me
How I've waited,
Wished for this moment,
This slice of anticipation,
But now its here,
I'm afraid to feel,
Afraid,
Of being devoured my these sensations,
This curiosity,
This impatient heart.
For its you,
You alone that I have held a candle to,
Worshipped
And revered,
Loved,
Adored even.
But you were only a dream,
A vision inside,
A fragment of time to hold onto,
To cherish.
Now.....
I don't know you,
And me...I am a mere stranger,
With a familiar name,
Maybe that's how it should be?
