I Thought I Saw You Today

by KK

I thought I saw you today

So subtle from the corner of my eye

A shadow, a mirage of your soul

Is this you? Is this really you?

I thought I heard you today

So slight the peep from your lips

A whisper, a hint of your heart

Is this you? Is this really you?

I thought I felt you today

So strongly, I extended my hand

A desire, a need of your presence

Is this you? Is this really you?

I turned to see you today

So slowly like living a dream

A shadow, a mirage of my heart

It’s not you. This isn’t you.

I turned to hold you today

So empty the very air that I stroked

A shadow, a mirage of your presence

It’s not you. This isn’t you.

I turned to hear you today

So cherished the few laughs that we shared

A whisper, a hint of your soul

It’s not you. This isn’t you.

I thought I saw you today.
