Love Poem: We Both Knew

We Both Knew

When we first met
no fireworks went off
but there was that one day
when suddenly 
I touched your hand
and something awoke within

It wasn’t much longer
before I was physically suffering 
a baffling burning urgency
to tell you that I love you

Stalling techniques exhausted
only to discover
how inexplicably you felt it too
all so soon and so surreal

As if…
at some instinctive level
we’d been in some distant past
a couple torn apart
by some pointless war
or other disaster

How else to explain it
