I Am

I am the smile on your face as you awake.

I am that first kiss; awkward, unexpected, unforgettable.

I am that summer in your youth,
  that you relive in your mind.

I am the one you've been looking for,
  but you will never find.

I am the guilt that you are too ashamed to mention.

I am the tears that you will never get back.

I am the beast beneath the rising tide.

I am you.
