I wanted to hug you when
we last met, but was afraid.
you see, I had already fallen
or was it that I tripped and fell
and was free falling because
that is the feeling I get when
you’re close enough to see the
sparkle in your eyes
yet there was no fear of the
impact only that someone
would reach out and catch me
not understanding the meaning
directly or the need to make a
precision landing
deep within the heart of the one
person who moved me in a way
when she smiled gave the
sensation that nothing was missing
you were and always will be my love
at first sight on any given day or in
the dark of any random night
and for as long as I know you I will
keep asking how to find Polaris
because there is nothing quite as
beautiful as standing behind you
star gazing knowing the most
amazing person is within reach
