Almost everyday for five years,
I have gotten up, dressed,
gone downstairs,
and joined you at the
breakfast table.
Then we would all go to
class together.
But last night,
my brain kept churning together
all of the moments of
my life spent being with you,
taking it all in,
figuring it all out;
And my pysche had a rebirth
while I slept,
and when I woke up
the next morning,
a revelation had formed
inside of me that wasn't there
before.
Almost in a trance,
I got out of bed, dressed,
and went downstairs to
the breakfast table,
where I saw you sitting.
My eyes flickered up into yours,
and then it was as if I had
never seen you before,
even though I have looked at you
a thousand times.
I truly was seeing you for
the very first time in my life.
And when you reached over,
put your hand on mine in concern,
wondering what was wrong,
I could only smile,
as my eyes melted into you,
taking in the celeste, the beauty
of you, at last realizing that
all along,
love was right in front of me.
I did realize then that
the person I was yesterday
is gone forever;
my heart and soul are lost in you,
and I don't want to find them again.
