I have always known you

I have always known you.

I met you ages ago.

When we were neighbors.

In another century, in another life.

Was I taller then?

Were my eyes brown? Were your's green?

I don't remember.

But I remember you. Oh! I remember you.

You have always known me.

You were always there.

I told you my secrets.

But you already knew.

It was an accident.

You touched my hand.

Images flooded my mind.

Memories that didn't belong to me.

I will always know you.

I will meet you ages from now.

We will be neighbors.

In another century, in another life.

When the dust of this world is gone.

When we walk out onto the wet new earth.

We will hold hands.

And we will know.
