Held fast
since before birth
Held close
in touch and heart
I was your heart
outside of your body
30 years of life
filled time between you and me
Our souls not yet met or intertwined
Only now, as I bear down
upon 30 myself, do I understand
how much life you lived before me
How much more you've always known
How much more I should have asked
or told
or listened
I'm finally caught up to you
to where you were
when my life started
A life doubled
A life of love, of laughter and tears
Of tender looks and embraces
Of beauty and decay and lost time
and of times that will be remembered
always.
Our souls will keep dancing together
long past what we know,
Forever mother and daughter.
I love you.
