We were in touch again recently
Via video conferencing tools
Your voice, older now, blended sweetly with
low latency digital artifacts.
We "caught up" with each other, as they say
I stared and wondered as I always did
If you knew then, knew now, about the way
I felt about you, fifteen years ago.

And still, to this day, I feel drawn to your
beauty which had once been the reason for
my existence, a burst of light in near
darkness. A second birth, a call to arms.
 
I did nothing with this love. I could not
translate feeling into words or action.
I remained passive, respectful, and yet
it acted, and continues to act, on me.
