Upon first meeting him I felt old
I felt as though we were old, and had grown that way together
Our interests and dislikes; they ran very parallel to one another
And we had both been hurt by many we had let in willingly.
Our father's have the same name
And we both worship the night.

Upon first meeting him I felt hunger
I felt as though I would never be full of his life
The vibrance he emits through every single pore is blinding
Those eyes that probe ever deeper into everyone's souls
He smiles more frequently than frowns
And he always has a shocker to tell.

Upon first meeting him I felt happiness
I felt as if I had never before laughed or smiled
We grew closer and still closer with every passing day
And he always knows how to make me grin
He and I became best friends in a week
And whenever with the other, we're satisfied.

Upon first meeting him I felt complete
I felt as if all the pieces had fallen into place
The half I had never missed before had returned
And looking at him was like looking in a mirror
He and I will always be a part of each other
And we will love until a day past forever.

The pieces are in place
The halves are now whole
And if you don't have it now,
I hope you'll someday know.
