Jigsaw Puzzle

I tremble uncontrollably.

It is like looking in a mirror.

We both have the same question.

As lightening illuminates the

puddles around us,

the rain falls, making music

with the strong beats of our hearts.

A window in my house flashes on.

I swallow hard and lean in.

You follow. We kiss.

I smile as you turn and

run out to your car

almost trying to splash in

every puddle possible.

You and I are two separate

unfinished works of art.

The joining of our lips

was the jigsaw puzzle

that completed us.
