You

I said “hello” when you starred right at me

You smiled and nodded my heart skipped a beat

There was something about you

That curve in your smile

The way your eyes creased when you winked

The strand of hair that dangled kissing your ear

You looked familiar

The moment I saw you I knew I knew you

Maybe a faded memory from my childhood

Or I glanced your photo somewhere I can’t recall

I was so glad I met you

The other night you called me out of my sleep

Sleepy eyed mind weak I listened to your stories

You refused coffee whilst I had a least two

My head snuggled my pillow at 4 am

I didn’t mind I had no plans for tomorrow

I never have plans

And love letting the days sail by

I told you about the doctors and the pills

And the white walled room

And the times when everything was grey

I didn’t know if I was coming or going

I barely knew my name

You responded like you understood and knew where I was coming from

Like you’ve walked that road before

You frowned when I frowned

You cried when I cried

Wherever I went you followed

Everything changed the day I met you

They labelled me crazy and said I should be locked up

That’s how I heard it anyway

I didn’t care

All I wanted was you and our endless conversations

It was a brilliant idea when you said I should place mirrors in every room

Now you are with me your reflection I see every minute of my day
