If I

“If I...”

If I met you, 
   would you know 
      who I am? 
        We used to be in love, 
    a long time ago,
before him and before her.

If you saw me, 
   would you know 
      who I was? 
    I used to love you, 
a long time ago.

If I saw you, 
   would I know 
     who you were? 
   You used to love me, 
a long time ago.

like this poem... it's like a love you look for and life time after life time you find your self with that person not knowing in the life time before that you had already found them.
