I saw you today
I saw you today
It took me a monument
to realize it was you
Fresh as
If it was my first hello
Smooth
As water on a slip’n slide
I was back there
The days of
Simplicity and quiet gazes
No questions
No answers, either
My knee jerk reaction
Wanted to know you again
My past told me I already did.
I’m enamored
by your ability to hold me
Without ever reaching out
Yet;
Saddened by your ability
to set fire to a room
You never intended
To be in
You never owned your
Dysfunction,
you collected glitter
and wore it as
your charmed life,
rolled though me
Like a hurricane party
on nitro
You know
One day
You would be
Standing
In the place, that space
Only you would fill
Only you could fill
That day came
It was here
Before us
Playing out
Like it did
In my mind
No disappointment
No resentment
Oddly
It was joy
I saw you today,
No questions
No answers, either
My knee jerk reaction
Wanted to know you again
My past told me I already did.
I saw you, today.
