IT'S LIKE I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOR ALL OF MY LIFE

It’s like I have known you
     for all of my life,
and like you’ve been hiding
under the blanket of my heart.
Like you’ve been waiting for me to find you,
     like an untethered arrow, hanging in the dark.
like an untouched colony of moss on the rocks,
or a stolen kiss in the middle of the dark,
like a hollowed circle in the shelter of the wind
or an unalarming embrace in the safety of my arms,
like a candle sizzling
after it’s been turned on,
I’ve found you now,
   I’ve found you, my love.
