see food

---

in a millennium expended, this reunion was foretold
a childhood crush, that never relinquished its hold
completely obscured, even to its owner
who hadn�t expected to bemoan her
absence, the aftershock of a causeless fight �
and though she vanished with the night
each remembered a mesmerizing day in the trees
the branches swaying in the summer�s cool breeze;
their hands fastened, as though connected by a tether
a sunset�s walk on the beach that will last forever
