lets meet again

for the first time

when your heart isn't borrowed

and mine hasn't been battered

when the timing never goes wrong

and we don't keep missing each other

lets meet again

when your love for me isn't a projection

and my attachment to you isn't a scream for attention

lets meet again

when you're right for me

and I'm imperfect but wholeheartedly yours

lets meet again

for the first time

at the corner of the street

a stone's throw away from our homes

lets bump into each other and marvel

how the most perfect being has crossed our paths

lets meet again

so we can see the red flags beforehand

lets meet again

so that this time

I can walk past you and not feel like

my heart is ripping out of my chest

lets meet again

for the first time

when i am not the hurricane that destroys your roots

lets meet again

for the first time

when you are not the tsunami

that tears my home apart
