I caught a glimpse of you...when you didn't know I was looking
trying to re-discover what I'd forgotten about you...
About us...
Why I'd once loved you -in that other time
You were standing naked in front of the mirror
your auburn hair glistening on your wet mortal body
You'd just stepped out of your morning shower
humming the customary tune you do so well
I stood quietly in the hall...
watching you shave your golden, red beard while you hummed...
as you tapped the rhythm with your foot
It was intoxicating...
observing your routine without you knowing I was there
I'd watched your morning ritual many times
You...always aware when I was watching
In the past...in that other time
Somehow...
watching you with my heart, more than with my eyes
made me melancholy missing those feelings
I'd once felt for you...for us
Feelings that were once so deep within my heart
for awhile, back then - in the days of us
Did we ever really love one another?
Was it kismet - was it fate?
The question sits on unspoken lips
I sighed -missing you - missing us
When our melody began
you sang the notes to my heart so well...so tender, so real
We soared on the music, our mouths relishing the kiss
in our moments - in our past
For a time we were us -
you and me - me and you
We traced our love with thirsty lips - hungry bodies
I stood there looking at you for quite some time
pausing at the door before I left...
knowing...I might never open that door again
I turned back once more, before turning to go
making sure to remember just why I was leaving
But now...every time I see a man shaving...
I find myself sadly thinking of you
