Mystical Incantation

there was something in the corner of his smile

that gave me a semblance of hope for our future

I tried not to force my way inside his world

stayed casually back three steps, maybe four

she told me I'd changed during these last ten years

and yet, somehow I still felt the same

thinking to myself, it was her, not me

I was the same caring soul

his words, they were perfect

and I want to believe

is it possible the meanings are the same

after all this time

dare I now, take this tremendous first step

that's really a second or third step

overlapping the first step

that never left ground

his passion is real

and yet, so is his sass

coming at me, ten ways from Sunday

can this be 

there was a mantra in the sound of his voice

unmistakable. 

I know, 

I heard it...

I am your own.
