Octobers then and now

You reached for me

on a grayish day

one October.

The world rushed

and fell down

around us,

but we were immune,

enfolded in our cocoon

of exhilarating newness.

You transformed me there.

Held my heart

with steady hands

until it opened,

and ignited

with sugary whispers

and deep midnight kisses.

I'd like to hope I transformed you there too.

Oh, that we could have lingered

in that haven

forever....

But the world beckoned

and awaited.

There was a life

to be created.

We left our solace,

and became one

with the rushing

and the falling down.

The path has

been long, but

have we traveled

so far?

Could we find

our way back there,

together ?

I know we can't stay,

but what would you say,

if I reach for you

some grayish day

this October?
