there’s a war in my head
when i try to write about you

the logician who tries to rationalise
with statistics and probability
saying it wasn’t “destiny” but only
just a matter of time
because of proximity,
demographic, blah blah blah

in comes the romantic who says
no fuck that! it doesn’t matter
how close we live to each other,
or how many friends we have in common.

what matters is that the universe
wanted us to reconnect.
all those years ago, when we met
was just a preview of an upcoming
blockbuster romance film of the century

what matters is how when i’m with you
i feel like home.
i feel whole,
i feel a love that
permeates my entire existence
a feeling like
for the first time in my life
i know where i belong.
