i...do remember clear as water
what you first said
when you first said
“...”
from an opening of a little window
words floated
without ending
eyes full of desire
kept calling
so many times both hearts
were broken
both took each other in
as if it were the first time
again and again
the first said words
begun to form you and i
i... believe now how
you make me feel
love equals love
when love mates with
you and i
like the first said...
can neither deny nor reject
neither stay nor return
we are trying
to tell us
you end up writing me that
mean poetry
i...will not love you less
if you keep repeating
telling me of you...
face was a moon in the infinite sky
facing me
and knew that it was you
who was staring
in silence?
then recognized me
the first said...
have found the likeness
it won’t diminish inside you
like a likeness you and i
what said first?
when love mates with
you and i.
