Oblivion

When I look at you

I see more than most people do.

Your eyes

catching mine

is a story within itself.

We are two completely different people

with two completely different lives

and for years we have lived oblivious of one another

but now our two oblivions have met

and exploded.

They are no longer oblivions

but an untold story drifting in the universe

waiting

to be written.

Maybe it will only be a few boring sentences

or an upset scribble of letters

but you and I

we have a purpose

and our feelings have meaning.

You and I

we may not understand why our oblivions met

and why they were destroyed

but I’d rather be destroyed

than be stuck

in an expanse of unknown memories of you.
