We've met before havent we. You remember me, dont you?

I am the eyes that fill the forest

I am the whispering in the trees

I am the stench of rot-food

I am the calls of new faun to their mothers

I am the bitter tingle of blood on the nose

I am the crunching of leaves on a cool fall day

I am the tickle of raindrop fingertips dancing across your window

We've met before and we'll meet again.
