nothing was aligned.

everything was jumbled, disorganized: uncertain.
the theatre was dark
then the lights went out
a single light glowed in the center
you were that glow

it might have just been the electronics
the cheap lightbulb from the catalog
but the real light was you
the right light
the light I had been missing
i knew it the moment I saw you.
my heart pushed inside my chest,

but fell into your hands, where it will stay.

your energy was radiant and centered
pulsing through my veins
I was aware now.
Everything in my life happened for a reason
Happened for this moment
time evaporated.

i was where I needed to be.
the stars were saying their hellos again,

casual greetings to a fleeting friend.

I was where I needed to be
