One night, when I was least expecting it,
You entered my life, capturing the depths
Of my soul with no more than a hello.
Never meeting, you amazed me with every word,
Touched me with every thought,
Mesmerized me with every emotion,
Reached past my inner walls,
And picked up the pieces of my shattered heart,
Putting it back together with such love and strength
That a lifetime of scars were healed and erased.
In that split second, an eternal bond was formed.
I had loved before, for so long and with such devotion,
And I had lost, vowing never to trust love again.
But all it took was the simplest of words,
Giving me that miraculous déjà vu,
Telling me we had known each other forever,
And that we were meant to be together
Until all time and space cease to exist.
I fell so deep, so fast, so gently,
So completely in love that I didn’t even realize it.
Thinking we were destined to be no more than friends,
Not knowing how to feel what I felt for you
Or what those feelings were,
Only the beauty and urgency of them.
Reality finally crashed into and washed over me
That the love I felt was more than any emotion
I had felt in far too long a time.
It frightened and excited me at once,
Flooded into the empty spaces
That made up the whole of my being.
With each day that begins and ends,
You surround every thought I have,
Complete every dream, hope, wish, and desire,
Embrace every aspect of my life.
I can smell your fragrance on the wind,
Taste your kiss in a drop of rain,
Feel your warmth in the sunlight,
Hear your heart beating like thunder,
See your face in every image,
And consume your love with every breath.
Too many miles keep us apart for now,
Yet our spirits are always together.
I take you with me everywhere I go,
And leave all I am with you.
My only question is, how…?
