I Know You

Before I ever took this walk with you, 
I knew you. 

The place we met is at the edge of my 
memories, here  now gone the next 
moment, but I know we met.

 Your face is as farmiliar as my own, 
yet I have never seen you before. 
Your face is too beautiful for me to 
look at, yet I know I have seen you 
before.

Could I have seen you in another life, 
have I walked this road with you 
lifetimes before? Did we walk with 
our hands touching like this?

If we did how could I forget such a 
face? How could I forget 
this special memory you and I share? 
How can I not see your face anymore, 
because I know it's beautiful and I'd 
like to see you oncemore and not 
forget. So you could stay forever

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
