surprise

He told me he missed me & I was surprised.
Every I can't, I'm busy,  plastered the walls of my mind with the picture of her in the back round.
You told me you missed me & with everything I could muster I said, " You're just too late."
But every first touch, first kiss, first I'm sorry clogged my brain, and by my surprise my  lips muttered, "I miss you too."
It wasn't I miss you, I love you, come back.
It was I miss you, I love you, maybe another lifetime.
I thought of every what if possibility, but no amount of thinking could sort out our heartstrings tethered & knotted together by so many different tragedies it makes my head spin.
You still look at me & the knots gets tighter, cause I'm lost in our lifetime.
