Return to Sender

I look into your eyes

as the light drips from the skies.

Staring intently,

looking for answers to questions,

questions to answers.

To grasp the beauty in certainty.

I feel that I’ve known you for a long time

as I look at you for the first time.

Your eyes, your lips,

your brown hair to its tips.

All too familiar.

The touch of your skin

the manners of your whim.

All too familiar.

I’ve seen your reflection on

the haze of the twilight sunset.

It’s silhouette etched on the embers of my mind.

It’s like I’ve known you for so long…

Fate must’ve have been toying with us.

I’ve seen your face across the streets.

Touching hands slightly at the sidewalk

as the cars race behind us.

Re-aligning the stars

to places afar.

Borrowing the same book on different dates,

taking in and pausing on the same page.

Shared daydreams of an eternal sunshine

whisked away by the busyness of the day.

Destiny is forever waiting for its turn to bloom.

Sighing its exasperated breath under the moonshine.

Re-aligning the stars

to places afar.

Finding its way back to you.

Each new encounter is a beginning to an end

an end to a beginning.

A new sunrise

through the mirror of your eyes.
