I have been here before. I know that quiet look, those murmuring hands that touch upon this and that, never fully answering the question that has yet to be asked. You were mine once. I recognize your walk, the turn of your head just so. Your eyes draw the hooks of my memory and make me catch my breath. You may not remember me now, but someday soon your heart will recognize mine and the flood of memories will wash over you as it does for me now. Time is a restless lover, impatient for novelty. He longs to open the door and move into the next room. But memory is patient. The years are kind to her: her beauty stays intact, ageless. Your beauty is the same for me, removed from time. The classic lines of your face stir my memory and the musical quality of your voice makes my blood sing whenever you say my name. There's so little we know of living to think we know all we need to know about life. But I know this: I was here once and my life meant everything because you were in it. 2008-05-06T02:32:25Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29223 <p>That was amazing! Captivating, entirely. I was hypnotized by the sultry, silken sound of it. I related as well.

I would not have thought of that. Then again, at this moment I&#8217;m not sure I could think of much. Anyway, lovely&#8230;not that I&#8217;m surprised or anything. This is you we&#8217;re talking about.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/29223?basename=60089 2008-05-02T21:51:08Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>Wikipedia is a glorious thing &#8211; I went there to get the accents for déjà vu.
