He thought he knew her. He thought she was a gentle ghost from his past; a past where the two of them shared a bit more than just a moment in time.
He remembered when they shared and what they shared, what felt like an eternity, in just a few glances.
His start complemented her end and between the two a perfect dance commenced with the objective being clear: we.
He pushed while she pulled, giving them both the strength to move mountains. Together, they moved MOUNTAINS.
When the back roads became impassable, they took flight and made their path easy. Though not the easiest of tasks, they, together, dominated the ideas of challenge and difficulty so that what they had would standout from the mirrored image of everyone else's mediocrity.
They were extraordinary.
They were not as everyone else; complacently waiting for life to happen.
With each extension of a hand, life returned to them and made itself bigger.
He looked into her eyes and saw love and illusions.
Cradled in her bosom where the secrets of what he thought he knew but did not have the heart to ask.
Was she real?
She seemed real.
Her scent enticed every sensation he remembered he had.
To look upon her gave his heart a satisfaction no other could comprehend.
To hear her laughter sent waves of electricity to every limb and overwhelmed him with a delight that fancied that of the pure joy of life.
To taste a kiss so sweet, heaven sighs and lies back to marvel in its genuine beauty and wonder.
To feel the caress of a wanting love; becoming breathless at the thought of standing face to face in anticipation of a united effort of affection.
He needed to know.
Was she real?
It felt like days; weeks; months, endless time that he stared at what seemed familiar and he wondered "How can legs take steps that the heart refuses to?"
In one moment, he remembered everything he believed to be real. A lifetime of echoed laughter down haunted corridors reminding him of the pursuit of love. He remembered the feeling of dissolving into someone else's caress in his net of safety and feeling the world disappear around him.
He wondered was he the lost one; wandering around hoping to find someone familiar.
He wondered but he couldn't take his eyes away as she walked up to him.
"Hi."
