RECOGNITION

I recognized you by
The yearning you awake in me
That old familiar ache
Sweet, uncensored.

I recognized you
By the loving gaze
The sense of immortality
When your eyes lock with mine.

I recognized you
By your tenderness
As gentle as a flutter
Of butterfly's wings.

I recognized you
By the sweetest smile
It carries the warmth
Of thousand suns.

I recognized you
By your shy embrace
I remember it well
How could I not?
