It Was the Best of the Best of Times

It was the best 
of the best of times.  
We were in love 
and did not care 
about anything but each other.

Nothing else mattered.  
No one else mattered.
It was all about us.

We did not care 
about our favorite things 
anymore, we had a new favorite thing - us.

We selfishly lost ourselves in each other, 
speaking of future plans,
and goals we had shared with no others.

We lost ourselves 
gladly and completely, 
turning from two into one.

I breathed him, and he breathed me.  
We gulped each other's essence 
down, in big hard gulps.

We immersed ourselves in 
the essence of "being in love".
The rest of the world did not matter.

We were on fire,
we were focused,
we were fascinated.

By the oneness of ourselves, 
which had risen like a phoenix from ashes.
It was the best of the best of times.
It was our time
