DEAR ME,

(*Read note at bottom)

Dear me,
I love you,
why did this happen?
Why did I stumble into this
stumble into a smile
around every corner
kind of life
without
even asking for it?
Why is there a star
hanging over every door or window
that I pass under
like a bough of mistletoe
to my soul
like a kiss
with every step
from the you that I imagine
and the you in my arms
the two one and the same
and beyond anything I imagined
and yet everything I imagined
all at once
and a kiss on my soul again
that I never asked for
and you in my arms,
is this love?

* "Dear me" is an exclamation, not a salutation.
Fictional, but I think was inspired by someone.
