Lingering Thoughts Of 'You' And 'Us' Poem by Jonathan Maldonado

I watched a movie and I began to think of you:
Why did it seem I had known you before I ever did meet you?

This uncanny resemblance
as if I knew your heart and yours knew mine.

A comfortability we shared with each other the minute we met, found in childhood friendships that lasted into adulthood.

Your eyes,
I have seen them,
I have known them,
every shade of brown that glistened in the light, I knew it.

And the way you stared
without words you told me
you felt this too, something about me you felt you knew.

Was it destined or déjà vu?

A magnetic force deep in our core pulled us close,
an attraction like no other, not through lust but a peculiar familiarity, as if our souls were once acquainted.

As if, I remembered every curve of your smile and how contagious it was.

As if, the taste when we kissed was not knew, but one I had missed,
and the softness of your lips,
and the warmth of your hips
all so strangely, wonderfully familiar.

How the way you would smile, close your eyes then fix them on me as you slowly shook your head and exhaled to come back to your senses.

Did you feel the same?

what were you thinking on these beautiful moments now stuck in my head?

Can it be that destiny can somehow mix up its schedule?

Meaning we just may be meant for each other,
soulmates who crossed paths sooner than destined too?

Maybe we were meant to meet at a later time, maybe we still will.
Maybe we met before we were ready.

So, this is not a 'goodbye' or 'farewell' but a 'see you later' when the timing is right.

can this be? ...

Maybe it might!
