Perfect Stranger

And suddenly

I see you, 

like the stars

reveal themselves

out of daylight,

I see you

Why couldn't I find you before?

Where did you come from?

And why does this

perfect stranger

care about me

of all people

I was fine,

content even,

before I met you

but you gave me

a gift

that I didn't even know

I needed

How dare you give me

everything you have

and make me

feel

like I had forgotten how

Because every moment

that I can't have you

hurts

in a way that only lovers know

But I guess that's what we have been,

lovers,

since the moment

you stole me

from my unknowing, naïve

peace

and called me

yours

I felt your poem, words have been so delicately tied together. Beautifully written ❤

Your words so beautifully express both the bliss and anxiety that come when love appears... the joyful musings and the painful ponderings of who we are now that another has connected to our soul. Amazing.
