A GAME OF TAG

A GAME OF TAG
it is a game of tag
between two people
sometimes
you are it
the one doing the chasing
and sometimes
you are not it
being chased by another
and for all the time
spent running around
the hours and days and weeks
spent dodging and ducking
cutting back and forth
and going in circles
there are moments
every so often
ever so seldom
when your bodies are touching
when a finger pokes a rib
or catches a heel
moments when the connection is there
when you are truly united
and those are the times
the split seconds
blinks on the face of eternity
when you and another are actually one
so I take it all back
all that I have said about love
because in those brief moments
love does exist
