to meet

we met
on one of those days
etched in the wind

full of
completed sentences
wild giggles
and surprises

i didn't even think
about what kind of
impression
i was making

i just wanted to be close

your eyes
were pale
with the light
of the sky

my eyes
were darkened
by the wanderings
of the moon

what could we think
was similar
between us?

what could we know
was hopeful
inside us?

what could we understand
so quickly
that would last
so deeply
within our hearts

i was never
as smart
as you

but i knew you
before i could even
whisper

hello

step out
of the dream
into life

and see
what it means
to be whole
