more than other moments

6/29/2013

There are certain meetings
connections we make
that are somehow more significant than others

the first time I heard your voice
it was like that
one of those moments in life 
that I knew later in my memory
would mean more than many other moments
to me.

I heard your heart in a song
your heart break was mine
but it seemed worth the love to you

this I understand

in a photograph
that captured my eye
and affected me
almost physically
as if you were standing there
standing there in the same room
I saw a distance in your eyes
like your mind was walking along a shore some place
while you were present
face to face
but at the same time far away

like me

and this I understand

Some connections in life stand out
like a cosmic spark
that lights up
when you think about
      the first moment
two souls touch
in a waking time
a chance meeting
through a lovelorn rhyme

and you
well you sing like you see between the lines
and you love more deeply
than some of our kind

and this
          I understand.
