i thought i saw you today
the bells pealing across campus
your smile jumped out at me
from across the street
and over the lump in my throat
i screamed your name and ran
and people turned but
i didn't care.
before i caught up
i saw the unfamiliar energy
this boy this person
was happy and not you
but it was your face he wore
and i could already tell
i knew him and his contour
what places were smooth
because i knew you and
he was your copy
who walked through my eyes
and stepped on your memory.
this is for my ex-best friend joe. i found your double here.
