recollections
old affections
what's your story
what's your story now
I used to know
a bit of it
and you knew mine
but did you know
how you got me
no one ever came so close
to understanding
the madness
energy and art
that I hold
in this restless, sacred, ancient
heart
why did I come like this
back to this realm again
if not for us?
I know I said
that I meant 
to try
this one human life
on my own
but fuck I miss you
damnit I miss you
by my side
I'm so over
so goddamn over
being alone
every day 
each night
I know I said I wanted to try this
this one single human life
alone
but I was wrong
damnit I was wrong
it's better with you
It was always better with you
every lifetime
better with you...
I'm not ashamed to admit
I've got this present life to live
and I want you
in it
I want you in it.
goddamn how I want you in it.

blue eyes
and ancient ties
look deep enough
you'll realize
your dark eyes were meant
to stare right in to mine
want to lose myself in your darkness again
it grounds me
surrounds me
frees me
if you need me

still

I'm here.
