Marked our skin in ink

Each one with secret numbers

Now just lines I think

With nothing
but you,
my moon-
with nothing but your light
to guide me,
I made my way home
that night.
I cannot imagine
how much darker
it would have been
without you.

A fleeting glance as they pass each other on the street

At that moment, it began to rain

As the sky cried for the star crossed lovers

And for some reason, tears ***** their eyes too, like deep down they knew that they missed a lifetime in a single gaze

we have danced…
together through time
and space many
moons before now
i have fallen at your feet
and held your heart within mine
something ancient stirring
within us both
as old as the sun and stars
one glance was all it took
one glance, like a flame re-kindled
i burned for you once more
two souls lost in a forgetting world
that has forgotten
to love itself

I've waited for you
for my whole life
Almost eighteen,
and I'm tryna love myself

I'll keep on hoping,
put my love on the line
'cause love don't come running,
they arrive just in time

I've longed for you
for all the times I could remember
Those future memories with you,
are what keeps me going further

And my faith
is getting less blind
'cause I believe soon you'll arrive,
maybe in a year or five

I've prayed to God
for your descendant
Through times of
storms and tribulations

When things gets hard,
I'll be just fine
'cause I know you'll arrive
and it'll all be alright

I'll wait for you
for far more times
I'll lurk out the windows,
just give me the sign

Five years
of caged butterflies
and one day
you'll come arrive.

The sound of your voice kisses the crevices of my soul
Like a sheet of silk woven with the the embers of a crimson sunset.
That deep baritone caresses the shards of my heart that disintegrated when we were pulled apart.
The essence of your words hugs the very core of my being
And envelopes all the letters that my heart should be sending
But here I stand with my only company that tiny gold cufflink.

it's like i've loved you before i could breathe.
it's like i've loved you since the first time i cried
and i cried because i couldn't find you.
our souls are connected,
veins to veins, with blood and life rushing through us as one.
i gravitate towards you
and if atoms tried to split between us
and break our bond once more, my love,
we may have to disprove the laws of science.
because you and i, we are forever and always,
past, present, and future.
