I was

Surprised
to the extent that words failed me then
as I sat in silence, looking at you feeling
raw and aching, yet determined, believing
nothing would ever really change
for you and I.

Thinking
that you must have needed to, as you
had, grab hold of me then- stilling me, and
giving me no choice but to hear you,
see you, feel you know the reality
of you and I.

Moved
for having this insistent, inner knowing
of the impulse, which was anything but
impulsive, that drove you, and then I,
headlong into a moment that swallowed
both you and I whole.

Wanting
to reach for you then, not knowing
if you would have let me if you had known
that I was about to lay my hand upon you
as I had before to bridge the gap
between you and I.

Needing
to tell you that time doesnt change all
things, only those incidental things
like routine and hair color, circumstance
and perspective but never, not ever,
forever you and I.

And I smiled
as I watched you walk away
leaving me alone at the water's edge
with my tears, our love and the certainty that
everything would somehow be okay
for you and I.
