twenty something

You’re something that feels
like deja vu.
You’re someone I used to be.

I know the scent of your skin,
the way it warms beneath me,
the pull of your gaze.

You’re the one I long to admire,
the one my eyes always find,
the one I breathe like pure air…

You’re free,
and a little drunk –
on me,
on passion,
on life itself.

You’re so alive,
so wild,
just twenty-something.

I used to think beauty
was perfect symmetry,
a rare gift,
something out of reach.

Now I know:
true beauty is youth.
