As luck would have it

As luck would have it,
We met again in a crowded room.

Your friend turned to us and said:
“Do you two know each other?”
This is what I wanted to say:

I know every inch of the man behind that face. 
I know how his lips shape around a kiss.
I know what it is to love and be loved by him.
I know what it’s like when he’s asleep.

I know those hands, his scent, his breathing.
We’ve kept each other safe when we’re reeling.

I know what it feels like to bite him.
When he cries I know how he shakes.
He’s held my heart to keep it from breaking
And I can still see the thoughts in his head.

As luck would have it,
We met again in a crowded room.
