i found you

Sweet sweet laughter on my lonely streets Bathed in summer sun and chilly breezes As I think of you still Relive the few memories I can salvage from my childhood self Somewhere the breeze picks up, a child runs down the street A door bell rings, water spills There’s footsteps on the street No not you, just another kid I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked out my window wishing it was you walking down Crossing the footpath and ringing my doorbell Lonely eyes, I hated it when you cried Wild a child, just like the weeds growing in mom’s garden I’d colour you happy everyday if I could I would chase you everywhere Tugging at your t-shirt like a ghost An imaginary friend Because I was more visible to you than to the rest of the world Dreamiest eyes, I could get lost in them I looked for you in every face I have loved Haven’t seen your smile in ages I miss wrapping its warmth around me Do you remember our days in the old parking lot Staring at the sky Thinking we would have it forever I miss that, I miss that. Loving you as a child was just as pure as if I could see your soul and not your body As if I could see your flaws and not turn away People wonder what our souls are made of, I don’t know what we are carved out of But I know this- you and I were minted from the same rock.
