i imagined you there, waiting for something. i felt the silent drift of the wind all around us. i noticed it playing in your hair. how soft it must be i thought to myself. in my mind, i was running my fingers through those strands. learning all about life as we passed the day in silence. together. this day felt like an eon blessed for us. it crawled on its side and allowed us the privilege of its latency. time. we learned its game and played with it like two children at the edge of the cosmos. there was only us. the sky. the earth. feelings all around us. i looked again into your eyes. there i was. i held onto you and we let go. we fell so beautifully into this golden sunrise. aloft with the feather that we had stolen from the bird of tomorrow. i remembered your name as i called out to you. my dearest heart. i exist for you. i am you. we are here because the world called us to each other. we fall together only to help and co-exist with everyone else, but apart from them as well. i give to you all of my life and all of my dreams. for you there is only a fruit-filled basket of memories and laughter tinged with honey. from deep within my youth i called out the feelings of wonder...but, they were there in your eyes all along. you filled my mind with intrigue and interest. i was captured and captivated by you. you. who are you? what can i do to be with you again? i feel so far from you when time remembers itself and punishes us for what we have done. how i wish we were the timeless ones i have dreamed us to be. the children of life. we could never cross the stream without being misted by its wetness. this thing that flows without bound. the ocean to which it cuts endlessly, i wonder how vast it is. this ocean of life, of emotions. how strange this stuff we call water, that it resembles in its actions the patterns of life. drifting. oceans apart. flowing. tears from my heart. i wonder then what must be done to regain the beauty of living. this which seems to elude me from time to time...what is love? i called you my love so many times before, but never had i the courage to tell you that i had wanted to find you in me helping me discover its meaning. thinking back, i understand that you were there all along. you cared for me when i was sad or lonely. you lifted me up when i had fallen into myself...and never did you falter in this. i showed you my innermost thoughts and shared with you all of my opinions and emotions. had i the sense to know any better, i would have known that you had always loved me. but, for me, love comes ever so slowly. and when it finally did come it hit me like a world off-course. i was devastated to learn that you were there in front of me all along, holding my hand and nurturing my heart with your warmth. i opened up and swallowed you without even asking your permission. i carry you inside me now. i feel you have finally become a part of me...like a second self within. i call to you and i can hear you answer from deep inside. there are memories of mine that i know are your own. perhaps i am feeling the pull of your earth and sky. perhaps the time has been kind to us. it has allowed us an incredible journey together. i, the traveler out of space and time, i called to your heart so many times and wandered towards you without knowing where i was going. this perpetual quest for the fire that burns so sweetly from within. my tongue cries to taste the memories of you once more.
