best of intentions

we've had a lifetime of transgressions.  a lifetime of bitter defeat and loneliness.  but somewhere in the inbetween of the past and now, we discovered ourselves.  whether it was some blinding oracle that put halo's on our heads and sainted us for eternity, doesn't really matter.  but tonight i want to lie down with you, and memorize your skin again.  i just want to touch you, because it feels like ages since i was able to watch you without falling asleep in minutes.  ages since i felt your naked body pressing against me with desire.  i don't want to forget you me us, because we're too tired or too busy.  remember us, the soulmates, the twin souls who found each other through years of wreckage.  remember US, the us who could talk in silence for hours, with eyes brimming with conversation and tears.  remember us, who cried the first night we said that we loved each other.  remember those first days when we couldn't get enough of each other, we stuffed ourselves, gorged ourselves on each other.  and now i am starving, i'm starving for those tears, and for those moments of brilliance when you would look up and i could see you in a picture.  instead now we come home and the best of intentions stays at the doorstep.  there is love, much more love then two years ago, but now we need to remember, and we need to forgive the lives we once lead.
