¿Cómo llegamos aquí?
A momentary flashback; a blue shirt, a necklace
Your arms reaching for me
A smile; excitement
Its beginning was in that moment; it endures even now
Distance cannot impede it
Heartache cannot quench it
Time only fuels its worth
A refuge in a time of war
A sense of calm in the midst of turmoil
Like dry ground to a drowning man
Or a promise of peace against all odds
Eyes that comfort
Hands that assure
A soul that is clean and healthy and pure
Effort not required, it’s just who you are
Wanted by me
Loved by me
Overwhelming
Addicting
Beautiful
Let nothing stop it

i looked up llegar and then read it again.
even nicer.
I love it. what's Como llegamos aqui?
"Como llegamos aqui?" is Spanish for, "How did we get here?"
The first two times, the line is, "How did I get here" (singular) but after that point in the poem, it changes to "how did we get here?" (plural).
The change occurs when the author begins to see the feelings evolve into something much more reciprocal.
Get it?
Very interesting!
