April 23rd...

This was actually written many, many moons ago! 

If I remembered your birthday would it have made a difference in the scheme of things I only knew your sign was just like mine, a blast from the past you are and so many memories, things to say missing pieces in the story of you and me and who we became after the storm passed and the food began to stay down again and the days didn't seem so cloudy and I could hear the music in my head

Life has a funny way of returning to that which is most important and if you aren't willing to show up for it, chances are it won't present itself but when it does and if you are ready...wow - what a wave of coolness it brings
long ago laughter returns and you feel like 14 again, but you're not and it all feels different somehow than then, but the same in some odd way

I fell in love with a dear friend once, from the past - nothing ever came of it he's taken and that's not all - love is really in the moment what, a connection,
a desire filled, to be seen - really seen - and touched - really touched…the meeting of two hearts on a level that no one but them can understand, yes, life has a funny way of showing up if you're ready for it - and you grow

and I grow, and I have grown, and I thank a few and many deeply.
