Sunday

Today, you touched me.
A simple slip of your hand, caressing my skin, and then as if by memory finding mine.
I've never experienced something so natural with a stranger.
It was as if we'd been lovers for a lifetime - so familiar, so normal.
Your smile was captivating, real, raw. As I watched you walk away up the stairs, I knew something had just happened; it was there, bright and plain in your beautiful, smiling eyes.

In that instant, we both forgot the pain that was so separate and isolating, and allowed ourselves to relax again. Your rhythm matched mine, our heartbeats were one, and for a moment I remembered why life is worth living. I stopped thinking, stopped reacting ... just felt.

I have never felt so at peace, so understood by another human being.

You and I must have been very close, in another life.

Life flies by at alarming speeds, but today, for one moment, time stood still.
Less than five seconds changed my life.

Bleed

the little black pieces of my heart are bleeding.

the pain is almost too much to bear.

his words

my pulse

synchronicity.

terrified of hope

we both run, escape into the sun

pretending, while life goes on

when in the dark

the truth comes by candlelight...

something's amiss 

without the other...

and then the little black pieces of my heart keep beating.

the little grey ghosts of his soul start weeping

and the pain 

is almost too much to bear.
