#differencies
we have found each other
across thousands of miles
across different cultures and traditions
we have found each other
among seven billion plus people
on this globe
finding each other
was the easiest part
strangers in the night
staying together
has been truly challenging
at times
idiosyncracies
failures deficiencies fears
hopes wishes dreams
illusions and taboos
pieces of history from previous lives
keep popping up at crucial moments
in often Freudian transfigurations
innocuous words
may trigger convoluted memories
freighten new contexts
with old pain and sorrow
a gesture
a tone of speech
a situation
suddenly turn into déjà vu
twisting their present freshness
beyond belief
into habitual frames of order
the prisons of our pasts
do not offer easy escapes
yet we have found each other
among the billions on this globe
there is no other but the each
to build a life together
