I remember when we met.
That is, officially -
I still remember our
Initial, stunted conversation, the first, word for word.
I still recall the way you never strayed
All that far from Times Square
In the New York City of my thoughts. Even
Hours later when I showered and combed
My sopping hair, your name, first and last,
Would spring from the alleyways and
Dance in the street.
Oh, damn, I whispered, glancing in the mirror
And realizing I couldn’t contain
My widest grin in ages.

And today I traced
Your initials into a watery canvas
Of condensation.
Oh, it's cliché, but I realized
That I knew it all along, since then, before then -
You're here to stay.
Unedited, stream-of-consciousness, not polished or pretty. Just felt like writing something - this might be reincarnated later, but as something much better.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I could recognize your style just about anywhere. It's very distinctive.
