who you are

The air stings my face slightly.
The wind is biting.
The sun shines, but it's warmth cannot keep up with us.
You stand off in the distance.
Wreathed in a glow that seems to emanate from deep inside you.
Blond locks whip around, in disarray and yet every movement, another
act of sheer brilliance.
I want to come close to you.
To whisper in your ear,
"This is who I was before I met you."

~blurs of joy


a deep fog settles in my mind
swallows up these long, long roads
and tree branches that look like spiders
ravens flocking in between them

I turn corners to find you
there
trembling shadow on the ground
all misshapen hands and dark eyes
laughter that sounds secondhand
you blink at me

I brush a lock of hair behind your ear
and I whisper:
"This was who I was before I met you."
