Will we meet again?
The first time we met, you were a ball of fire chasing the wind.
Your mom called you over.
We were so shy.
You didn’t want to look at me.
I couldn’t look away.
Will we meet again?
I didn’t know to ask.
At night, you chased me in my dreams.
Who are you? I need to know.
Will we meet again?
The second time we met, you smiled at me and I couldn’t look away.
My darling friend, thank you.
For the first time, it felt safe to be me.
When you touched me, I was on fire.
Burning bright with an eternal flame.
I loved you with my heart and soul.
And when you left me, I let fear rule.
Broken inside, I’m not what the world sees.
Will we meet again?
I don’t think so. And yet…
At night, I dreamed and dreamed.
Do you ever think of me?
Will we meet again?
The third time we met, you said hello and my knees went weak.
I know my heart skipped a beat.
How can it be possible, so much time has passed?
I still love you and I like you. (It’s not happy hour.)
There’s so much to ask and so much to say. (…but we ran out of time.)
I never meant to steal your peace.
I wanted to be your angel and bring you joy.
Instead, I’m supposed to let you go. (It’s not easy to say good bye.)
This time, I need to be strong.
Will we meet again?
I think so; when will the stars align?
At night, I dream and dream.
We swing and laugh and dance.
Will we meet again?
Will we meet again?
I know you’re real; (I can still feel you.)
At night, I dream and dream.
I’m real; (Can you still feel me?)
Will we meet again?

- Comment from author about the poem: This was my first poem. I wrote and posted it a couple of years ago. I had to take it down for a while. I've rebuilt the wall around my heart and buttoned up my feelings so I can now read again without getting too emotional.
