I loved you long before

I even met you

In the doorway

You said your name

And lifted the curtain

 

A low hum

A quiet certainty

A deep comfort

A slow night

A thousand kisses deep

 

The years

Have melted all away

I was a stranger

But I remember you

Like yesterday

 

I know you

Like children in the morning

Like rain on the window

Like butter on bread

Like hot coffee on a cold winter morning

 

When you speak, my words come aloud

When you look, I see

When you think, my thoughts become clear

When you drink, I taste

When you fall asleep, my eyes close

 

You were in me

All along

 

The yin to my yang

The light to my dark

The feminine to my masculine

Separated

But once we were one

 

As we explore the energy we share

And dance

The familiar yet unfamiliar

Radiance

We share

 

We look into the mirror

And see only

One

You see me in the face of me

I see me in the face of you

 

It’s four in the morning

On the first day of something new

You leave without a goodbye

It’s something in between

And deals death to the soul

 

Dance me through the panic

Dance me gently in love

Dance me very long

Dance me on and on

Dance me to the place between time and space

And let me rest at the tip of your eyelids

 

Touch me with your naked wounds

Touch me with the secrets that you hold in the back of your mind

Touch me with the sweet taste of your lips

Touch me with the wisdom on your heart

Touch me with the rhythm of your soul

 

Let me kiss your demons

Let me calm you with my gaze

Let me breathe your pain

Let me enter the threshold to your sorrows

Let me drink it all in

 

It was all an illusion

You were in me

All along

We lost our grip and then we slipped

Into the masterpiece
