#immediate connection

and i remember the day

at the riverbank

when we were gods

(never let me forget that)

you smile at me

and I feel warmth

like summertime

or fire

(it consumes me)

you kiss me

and i forget all else

and remember that i

would follow you anywhere

(living or dying)

But we have a connection that won’t ever be broken.

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s that thing that people say:

You’re the one that got away.

For 29 years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for 29 years.

I don’t know how it is you are so familiar to me – or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before – in another time, a different place – some other existence.
