love wins..

for true love i know exists

is the love i can't resist....

i want to meet you again for the first time, after many days and months of knowing you, again and again, as our journey has unfolded over years and lifetimes

i want to catch a glimpse of that familiar smile and feel my breath catch for just a moment as a remembrance of us is awakened, feeling your fingers reach shyly to clasp mine as the story of lives are again entwined

i want to meet you again for the first time and lie on the soft earth beneath the trees, mother nature embracing us in her tenderness

both spent from the meeting again of a longing that is always there in the background, sharing togetherness in this place of beauty as we forget that the outside world exists

i want to lose myself again in your embrace for the first time, being surprised at the instant and familiar comfort i find there, as we fall asleep in the backseat of a car, a tent, a single bed, limbs entwined, sharing space so easily

i want to dance with you again for the first time, as we find that our bodies move naturally in the same rhythm,
sharing a totally unguarded moment of intimacy as we dance together through the cosmos

i want to open again to the fullness that is me as our bodies find each other in that familiar rhythm that we share

i want to lose myself in our story, in a virtually created world of knights and nuns, donkeys and bloomers, laughing until i literally cry about some comment that has been lost in translation

i want to be opened by your enthusiasm again, spurred on by your support

i want to meet you in a place where the rules of this dating game are  not governed by conventions, where a girl can write beautifully soppy heartfelt poetry to a boy,

a world where it doesn't mean you're just not that into me because you can't choose me,
 where the fact that you don't move mountains to be with me and don't fight for my affections with some grand gesture, means that i am just not really that important to you

i want to meet you again for the first time in a world where i am less sensitive and you are more open,
where i am more patient and you are less so

a world where we were both less likely to run and hide and more inclined to just be, to find joy, to find a way

a world where i could understand all the realities and practicalities, pick up my pieces and walk away without forever turning back to see where you are

i want to meet you again for the first time

and feel my heart broken again for the first time, knowing that were it not for this ending, there also would've been no sweet beginning

maybe we can meet again for the first time after many days, months and years
on a white sandy beach, sipping cocktails, jamming barefoot under a starlit sky on a mountain top next to a glistening river that flows into the sea,

maybe we can meet for a cup of tea on a mountain under a forest canopy

and maybe we can hold hands again, forgetting the heartbreaks the world has caused us,
the separation we sometimes feel, the complexity of our egos, all our reasoning and logic,
and maybe we can stay in that place for a day, a month, a year, reveling in our togetherness for a while

i want to sit on a veranda with you, under a canopy of flickering fairy lights, as we take in the vastness of the open sky sprinkled with glittering, glistening of far off stars

listening to the soothing breaking of waves on the shore as the full silver moon, pregnant with possibilities, reflects our contentment upon the dark rolling waters of the sea

i want to walk along that beach of togetherness, feeling the soft white sand crunching beneath bare feet, as the breeze carries sweet distant music to our meeting..
