You Were . . .

You were everything
and
nothing at all ~

Simply the passage of so much time.

You were the keeper of lies
while I reached for the
truth
of
us.

You were that moment that
never mattered in 
the instant that
meant
the
most.

And I shiver with the
memory of the dream I had last night . . .
Strange.

That then I may have called it love.
