I knew it was you

I remember when we met

I thought you were someone I would be better to forget.

Then all of a sudden I woke up.

Thought back on our past

I dreamed something bad may have happened- maybe you should just come back.

You’re halfway across this gigantic place..

I have been calling your name, seeing faces.

You didn’t want to hear it.

I thought everyone would want to know. Why I was so low down and broken.

But no.

I don’t care

That is my own beast to bear.

When I realized who you were

(And who you were not)

My lungs filled with air again and I may have smiled for the first time in months.

Because I remembered.

I remembered you from long ago. Hadn’t we known eachother before? Weren’t you a friend of hers? Yes. It was you. You were back.

Not exactly mine.

Still standing here beside me.
