Time Aligned

In love with me
In love with her
The one to groom
The one to make your own
The her of fantasies
Rich and free
Fulfilling deepseatedness
Hidden desires
Of longings
The head only knows
And only knows why

My need to be her
Overwhelming my person
Of days
That will never be
That can't be
And was not to be

So, then...
How to live within the bounds
Of age and dimension
Of the here and now

It seems fantasies
May be safer mode to be
Bringing past to present
Ever so painful
It can be to dwell
On can never be
Of where I want to be
Woulda been
Shoulda been
If only time were aligned

Here we are
Past to present
In older more mature bodies
Our deepseatedness
Brought us thus far
Our gift
To at long last
To be together
Or to at least think
That was meant to be, is...

Author's Note
Time is and was on my side. My older version, says time is short and brings about a sense of urgency. My younger version is lulled by a sense of waste, of peeling away the onion, trying to find me. Now that I am me was it meant to be?
