It was a lifetime in a short time

It was a chance encounter
Three times in fact
You were you
And I was anything but me
It was an amazing experience
Terrifying
You dug deep and kept digging
And I did everything I could not to run but ran anyway
I took flight with wings
That you learned to prepare for me
You, knowing I was going
Me, knowing you would wait in pain
To see if I would return
Dawn was always breaking
When we connected
But how was I to know
That this encounter would break us too
