rationalizing that which cannot be rationalized

Last week I came across my old crappy camera, and there you were
So much of you
You smiling, pouting, making goofy faces...some photos blurred
And a lot of us.
It's been two years since then
So many things have transpired
I wasn't strong enough to be just your friend
Homesick for you, I was perpetually tired
Now I'm suffocated with my memories of you
The pain only subsides temporarily
And then its fresh all over again
I look back at that time with painful clarity
Why do you still have this effect on me today?
Is it because of the shared trauma of the fire?
Is it because you were the only one that got away?
Were we just a May/December romance that burnt too long on the pyre?
Could Plato's story be true?
Are we condemned to spend our lives searching for our other half?
What if you had already met, loved, and lost them, as I have with you?
When we reach the afterlife, will we see each other look back at this and laugh?
They say that you love people in different ways
that love is not measured in terms of quantity
Whoever said that was diluting their love to grey
I loved you more then the others, this is the deepest secret I hold in me
