"There are decades where nothing happens,
and there are weeks where decades happen."
- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Ever go back and look at something
almost as if it was the first time
all over again?
To see it as if it had never been seen before,
meeting it in outer space
and holding it close inside
your own inner space,
just in case you're afraid of heights.
To go over the timelines
of your memories
only to find glaring gaps in things
you never understood,
where entire lifetimes passed,
where you made me feel like a soaring angel
within the endless expanse
of relative time.
How do you do it,
making me feel the way that I do?
Time has passed me by,
somehow led to where I am now,
everything as it should be;
everything right where it belongs.
The good pieces with the bad,
the bad with the good,
all culminating into the whole that is you and I.
Hear the sounding of the ticking clock,
get used to hearing the sound
to the rhythm of a beating heart:
infinite until it's not.
Feel that breath come in with a scream,
but leaves with a sigh.
Gaps in time;
lifetimes lost in the spans of seconds,
remembered and recollected in eternity.
May our memories make us whole.
