Deja Vu

Déjà vu hit me hard 
One day 
As I sat in
Your arms
Looking into those 
Brown eyes
Nostalgia making me
Dizzy
Like I’ve been 
Here before
Surrounded in your love
Drowning in a 
Familiar smell
Like my 
Great grandmas’
Biscuits
On a cold morning
Our skin touch
And a feeling
Like when I 
Rode a carousel
For the first time
Brings goosebumps
Up my arms
When we hold 
Hands I
Experience a
Flashback
Of a past life
Or the future
Maybe neither
The words
“I do”
Are coming
From my lips
You smile 
Tears sliding 
Down your face
Utter bliss
How
With all the distractions
In this world
Did I find you?
Your spirit
Is as sweet
As the sugarcanes
I loved when 
I was young
A fire so
Strong burns through you
Anyone can notice it
With all my faults
You see right
through to me
so if I been here before
I hope I never left
