A couple of years, just yesterday

I will never forget that day. It was one of the worst days of my life. I didn't know it then that I would be lifted on sight. Drenched, miserable as the clouds above me, I fell into the murky waters on a city street. I wanted to lie there as I looked down at the harsh cold pavement. I wished for the the water to wash me from this turbulent existence. Yet in this pummeling downpour, I heard a voice. It was your voice, one i have never heard. This sound hollowed me and the very air inside rushed for an escape. I heard you again and dare to raise my dark eyes. I could not think, speak or believe who you were. Everything which you are put me in sudden shock. My heart felt like bursting though bone just to be closer. I rose silently in an feverid disbelief of reality. Stranger it is, I ached as if you were this piece piece of me I have lost. I still remember her skin, the wonders of her parted hair, those warming eyes and the voice, the voice. Yester, I fell again into murky waters and in those moments hoped to hear you once again.
