All Comes Back

It all comes back to you

It ALWAYS comes back to you

It all always comes back to that

That look, that laugh, that smile

That glorious, awkward, devastating moment

That whirlwind force unwittingly unleashed

Ready to sweep right through my psyche

And ruin whatever it finds there

It all comes back

Destined to repeat itself

Some misunderstood grand cosmic cycle

Construction and destruction

A phoenix of emotion rising from the ashes

Sunrise, sunset, and it all falls down

Only to be brought up anew

To face the charge of endless storms

Waiting for the one that it might weather

Never knowing that every fall

Every crack, every crevice

Makes it that much weaker for the next time

It all comes back to you

And the beautiful disaster

That trailed through in your wake

The aftermath and aftershocks

Still striking to this day
