First Sight

She stood in front of large bright windows
Her immaculate hair whisking from side to side
Her smile had grace from highs and lows
A sense of new coming forth from the tide
She was thin and dark and her skin shinned of life
She could capture you with her words no matter how small
A feeling of wrenching lurked within that I tried to fight
That sensation of numbness and confusion for I was to fall
We talked of memories and unknown acquaintances
Strolling backwards through time and laughing it off
How I knew her siblings and somehow missed it
Now it was full circle and the landing was soft
We hesitated to endeavor in deep conversations
In fear that we both embraced the same ambitions
We are alike and yet still far apart with equal motivations
When her words seep out I feel drunk without inhibitions
To speak the truth for time is short and love is long
No matter where we dwelled and hope to transcend
Your love is righteous and can never be wrong
For my love is complete and its mixture I can blend
