interlude

i thought i knew you.
i knew you from before.
years and time ago.
the rise and fall of stars ago.
i got into bed and i couldn't see you at all.
but the familiar smell and sound of things.
the shuffle of feet.
played upon my memory.
a loving loop.
a refrain of effortless expression.
no judgement.
easily understood.
but there was a catch before that all began.
a- right, as i lifted the covers
and i thought i knew you from before.
wasn't sure now-
an embarressed sly smile.
an untold moment of estrangement.
