Timeless Recollection of a Summer Gone By

One summer to the next life accelerated
then regressed into thoughts of the past
The timelessness it ultimately brings
the moment that slipped away through the seams

Where in past I looked into a mirror.
I did not know who to see.
I now look and caught glimpse of truly me.
Standing tall to avoid a fall.

My surrender I hold back tender.
My find is your undermine.
Within you love felt truly divine.
Within me I understood our love had untwined.

Without you I understood more and more who I am to be.
Written concepts and long held dreams escape me.
From the core of me nothing remained to be.
I am not the person I thought I would see.

Replaced by the person waiting inside of me.
And so I embrace the complete in me.
So as to never again be replaced from lost and disbelief.
