too many thoughts

there were always too many thoughts

too many feelings to express

too many honest but unacceptable words

is it just me that has these feelings

barely knowing someone but feeling forever

like re-meeting a twin spirit

meeting the part of me I always hid

then hearing me speak in your voice

seeing you dance till 5 am

to just spend a day with you

to talk and walk and hold your hand

to laugh to blink in disbelief at what we say

sometimes you seem so close

I can feel your body’s heat

smell your perfume

and almost taste

your lips on

mine
