the first time i saw you


i recognized you


although i'd never met you before.
i'd never seen you before that moment


yet i'd felt i'd met you somewhere.
maybe it was like something my mother always talked about


maybe we'd known each other in a


past life


been lovers?


married?


friends?


siblings?


long lost love?
some long, sad and dramatic story
that had meant everything to us
and maybe i'm sounding crazy


by saying all of this


but i just


know you from somewhere.
