i'd watch you in passing
or in classes, walking past you
walking faster; only if you glanced more
i'd have asked you; who clasped your, waist
& held your hands so, you'd feel safe
as if, he were Nazareth, & you were home
everybody thought you were, so damn fantastic
they were wrong; ...you were more
Lord, let me call her; let me holler
wait, pump her breaks, please stall her
who'd a known, you were grown, & full of horror
when we were smaller
kindred spirits by appearance, bearing too much
if only he could hear me
if only we'd of, peered in
if only he'd of, steered me
we could've shared & compared, how life sucks
still, i see you clearly
i can tell; well, it's a hunch, you hear me caring
wishing over wells; your coins fell, in a bunch
for you, my whispers were yells
still i swear, my prayers were all hushed
saying, yes sir, it's her, i can tell
one day i'll kiss her & she'll see as well
clear as crystal, that she'd be his hell
if he doesn't whisk her, away like spells
from all her dangers
& engage her, with wedding bells, flown in by angels
so much he's missed her; while becoming strangers
till one day, she said, hey mister
out the blue; double take, no mistake; it's her
i can't believe it's you; hi deja vu
the most beautiful girl in school
look what God can do
the hands of time have not robbed you
damn you're fine
as i rewind my mind
when you're presence made me pantomime
back when you used to be a dandelion
now your bloom, blossomed into something awesome
causing every man in every room to swoon & fantasize
& antennas rise, to salute; & say hello to you
view through my hopeful pen
i hope you've soaked this in
& notice, i wrote this again
since you haven't changed much
you're ageless, & amazing, through all our changes
to my closest friend, & favorite stranger
favorite stranger
