I Sometimes Wonder ...

I sometimes wonder what became of me

before there was you

how did I breathe

how did I smile

how did I manage to

exist

A puzzle, with many pieces

missing

since I do not know

how I ever managed to complete

a single day

without your smile

I am certain there were sunsets

filled with colors

and yet

before I knew you

they all seem insignificant

and sunrises

there must have been a few

and how many

escapes me

The passing of time

must have happened

but there is no sense of it

before you

I have no recollections

of time

before the time

spent with you.

This is a very beautiful poem. It says it all about the feelings and thoughts on being alone and then finding the one person who fulfills and completes you. Yes, it happens to those of us who are lucky.
It feels good to write.
