It Might Be You

do I know you? 
are we close and I just don't know it?
or are you just a kid I walked by in a airport,
or the supermarket, were you buying 7up?
or in the liquor store; your dad had to buy something for a dinner party
and you looked back at me through the ugly plate glass window 
while you mindlessly grabbed a lollipop from the bowl they had at the counter. 
I think you got pineapple.
and then I walked away, carrying the groceries. 
maybe our paths will cross again
will I even recognise it when they do?

    the lights in my room are warm

    and in the mirror

    where the soft grass meets the sea

    is where you'll find her

    for eternity now. 

     

    young and alive in vivid shades

    of every color
