I Saw You

By Jamielee82

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I saw you walking by today I saw "you" the person I have always known A glimpse of the boy from yesterday A moment of time, traveling back Back to the past childhood days When you were my love and I was yours And life was so easy So filled with hope I closed my eyes and I breathed a sigh of relief Thinking, believing you were back And you were, but "he" was not So often I forget That life must be lived And with experience, disapointment, growing up... People change You have changed But now I know that I have changed too And maybe today You closed your eyes, Hoping that "she" was back But "she" is gone And "he" is gone And two strangers stare at eachother trying to hold on to a life lived long ago.
