July 2007

There you are again.
Right where I left you
in the back of my mind, far away from my heart.
The more you try to loose something
the more excuses you make to hod onto it.
My heart beats so loud,
and I can only try to calm myself by convincing
all of me, it is not a good idea to pursue this.
It is not what I really want,
and someday I will be happy
and not have to hide anyone away
in the back of my mind.

Stranger
It happens that I know you,
better than you know yourself.
It seems to me you know this look
and that is why you are backing up.
In some distant memory you had a picture of a life.
A story played out so perfect in time,
but life has a ways of editing even in our minds.
And although you know what I will say,
It can change at any moment.
There is a part here I am not sure of,
and sometimes I sit to wonder who I am.
But most of tall where did you go?
That person I knew.
Who is this before me that I can't take my eyes from,
eyes so familiar,
but i don't know that smile.
So content and bright,
no I don't know you after all.
