"We've already met"

@Uootem

Hello from somehow-familiar strangers
          that's how it must seem to you.
You must be standing there thinking that
          that we have never met before.
But I find myself searching for just the right words
          to tell you that this is simply not true.

I was with you a few decades ago, remember,
          in a time when we were still growing up,
Can't you recall the time when we experimented with love,
          when love was something new for both of us.
When I saw your beauty gazing at me,
          as I gazed into eyes so full of love's promise.
When your aroma engulfed my entire being,
          as we kissed in the glow of twilight.
When I heard your heart beating,
          in unison with the rhythm with my own.
When I felt you whisper in my ear,
          those words of love that still echo in my mind.
When I tasted you on my lips,
          a wine-like flavor so sweet with passion.
When your heart stole mine
          while I was not on guard for I thought it was safe to give all.

So how can you think that we've never met,
          when I wish that you never left?
