...like a bird

   
Robin...  
   
   
the antithesis of me    
I have never understood    
how we drifted so far away    
     
......a soulmate?    
we are so much closer
like brother and sister    
when I look into your face, I see      
the perfect reflection      
of me......    
     
.....twins born from    
a parallel land    
one born of woman    
the other born of man    
     
Do you remember the time    
that you slapped my hand    
as I dipped my fingertip      
into your "blue cake"    
Man......    
     
.....I just hope that I'm not too damned late    
to mend the heartache    
that they sought out to create    
between you and me    
     
I love you angel....    
always feeling that      
a part was missing    
never knowing it was you    
until now....    
     
We    
are one in the same....    
     
...born along the      
same metaphysical plane    
same year      
same mind    
hours to the same day    
same sign...    
     
....perhaps I'm the slightly older,      
wiser soul    
but you're the beautiful rebel    
inside    
that's so daring    
so bold    
     
(.....the inner "me" that I've longed to be)    
     
They took you away    
forced a loose    
what God never meant      
to ever break apart    
     
and through the years    
I've kept you deep in my heart    
awaiting the day    
that I would again see your face    
     
and now.....    
     
I grasp tightly to your hand    
I hold you close to my breast    
Squeezing you as tight as I can    
Never letting go again    
     
Our circle of life    
finally complete......    
     
....I Love You, Robin
