Did You Forget YOu're ageless

Were you anything ever
Was I anyone
To you
Maybe yes
Maybe never
But I belong...
When the day turns night
Shadows turn
Long
I turn
To a thought of you
It's something old
And nothing new
I do.
Ancient
As our souls
When we began
Younger than we realize
Now and then.
Did you forget
You're ageless
When
I touch you?
Did you forget I was yours
Before time
And all that
Began -
To be recorded
Rewound, fast forward
Don't forget you're everything
Don't forget you're everything
If I was never anything...
Just don't forget you're everything -
I ever wanted
(And I looked a long time)
Not just a lifetime
But several
And you were damn hard to track down
Ancient
7 wonders or perhaps thousands
I have wandered
This universe is nothing
So small compared
To the places I've traveled
In the hopes
Of meeting you there...
Oh the places I've traveled
For a moment or two
Of eye contact with you -
And it's worth it, I admit
To have finally met
You in the flesh
To know you exist
And now I can rest
Knowing we've met
And maybe in the next
Life
You won't forget
That we were supposed to matter
To each other
For a little longer
Than a few stolen nights
Of lust and lies...
We were meant to matter
More
But at least I don't have
To wander
Travel
Search the universe over
You exist
And I have peace
In this.
