A familiar face

Wow, who are you? I feel that we have met before, but...I just can't place it. The sparkle in your eyes...its like I have been waiting to see you my whole life. Have you been here waiting for me this whole time? I am speechless, and I can't stop looking at you. You are brilliant and intimidating, yet so wise and mature. How could I have missed you? Every time I look at you, I feel mesmerized and you leave me wanting more. I don't even know what I want more of. It's this! What ever this is...

I look back and I begin to realize all those times you were there and I ignored you. I start to think about your smile and your adoring ways, always trying to get me to come and play. But, forgive me friend, for I was blind. I could not see that which wanted so desperately to laugh with me, to dance with me, to sing with me. You could have not been more obvious, yet I was not ready to see you and could not even if I tried.

Today, however...today was different. Today was different because I saw you. I saw you, and you brought me tears of joy. I saw you, and you brought me to my knees. I saw you, and you made me wonder who I was. I saw you...and then I saw me. For the first time.
