I saw your eyes before I had eyes to see.And I've lived longingfor your every look ever since.The longing entered time as this body.And the longing grew as this body wanes.That longing will outlive this bodyI loved you before I as born.It makes no sense, I know.Long before eternity, I caught a glimpseof your neck and shoulders, your ankles and toes.And I've been lonely for you from that instant.
