I found you



Remember when you had
such a slight way of keeping my attention turned just perfectly in your direction at all times?
Remember when you had
the idea to climb to the top of the Tate Modern when the fire escape door was ajar?
Remember when you had
so many people surrounding you for your time and attention and to fill their holes?
Remember when you had
only two minutes to talk and we ended up discussing the whole wide world in those two minutes?

I remember when you had my full and total attention
I remember when the door shut behind us and the wind was blowing and we had to yell for help to get back inside
I remember when you came across the room and sought me out leaving your other world behind you for me
I remember when the entire days and nights of my life were you, and two minutes was a lifetime to hear you breathe into me

I found you, how did you lose me?
