Premembering

Do you ever start at a new job

or go to a new restaurant

some place you've never been

and when you meet some people

for the first time

you just kinda know?

Somehow you know

that you're in the right place

and they belong in your life.

I'm not talking about love-at-first-sight

this has nothing to do with attraction

or love.

It's a connection to strangers

an unexplained familiarity with them

and you just know you'll be near these people

for years to come.

You know like you're remembering

and echo of your future.
