Timeless

Your presence, it grounded me, yet it also gave me wings.

You were far, yet you felt so near.

I saw your scars and felt your tears.

Your energy was freeing, it made me feel like I was riding on the waves.

You were new to me, yet your timeless beauty and wise old soul was like nothing I had ever seen.

How did you lose so much of yourself?

Over time, I guess we all do.

It feels like through many ages, that I have known you, yet it has been only minutes, and hours, not even a day, not just yet.

You stand there, by the waves, feeling it all, taking it all in.

I am so astounded by you.

There is so much to learn from you.

Now I keep finding myself wondering, where I would have gone, what I would have done, had I not taken that chance.

Yet, here we are, so close, yet still so far away.
