Familiarity

familiar in him I see a soul
engulfing every part of me
familiar in him I see a fact
of reaching out to flee

familiar is this familiarity
of us so familiar w/ each other
familiar w/each other
familiar oh so familiar
is this a lie? please tell me!

familiar I see a soul
engulfing his significant other
familiar in him I see a fact.. an act
of reaching out to flee...

familiar yet ..not
so ironic...nothing other
familiar..so very familiar
that when I look into his eyes
I loose the sense of comparing familiarity!
