I was walking down K street the other day and thought i saw you.
For a moment my breath caught in my throat, and i panicked.
After all, what would i say if i bumped into you on a street corner,
Years after the last time i have seen you?
What if you saw me, and looked the other way.
What if i wasn't the way you remembered me.
What if ... you didn't even recognize me at all?
It didn't matter... because it wasn't even you.
The truth is, I see you from time to time in a rush of strangers,
I hear your voice in a crowded room
I remember words you once said,
And I think for sure... they are all signs,
Reminding me that someone who once meant so much to me,
Should not be forgotten.
I remember you in fragments,
Because some memories hurt to much to revive,
And some have just washed away on the shores of remembrance long ago.
I remember sitting in a parking lot in the dark,
In Miami,
2 blocks from my house, afraid to go home and face reality.
I don't know what possessed me to call you, or break down and confide in you,
and I don't really know what I expected you to do from 1000s of miles away,
But i really needed you there,
Or at least to hear your voice.
I wanted to know that you haven't left me,
and that at the drop of dime, you would be there when i needed you most.
Well, there are a lot of those nights.
But it doesn't seem fair to call on you like that anymore.
There are nights I just want to call you up and beg you to take the next flight here,
Book it on my card,
Don't even pack!
Just come - be with me tonight.
Lay next to me, let me fall asleep in your arms
Let me breathe in the scent of you,
And memorize your contours,
And remember what your skin feels like beneath my fingertips.
I just wish I could look you in the eyes and tell you how much you've been missed,
all these years....
I wish i could tell you how i've always felt... still feel...
Even though I'm sure whatever you have felt is long gone.
I never forgot you
It was never the right place, the right time
I was young and naive and foolish
I never knew what I wanted,
And didn't appreciate it when I almost had it.
But someday i hope i can prove to you
That the things i thought, and felt, and wanted....
Were very real.
I did some growing up
I made all the mistakes I possibly could.
I finally accomplished all the things i worked for so hard
And now I have time for the things i was too scared to hold on to.
If i could see you right now,
I'd tell you that you're an incredible person,
Who always stood by me, motivated me, inspired me, and changed me.
Whether or not you believe that,
That's what I would say.
I would walk up to you
Take a breath
And kiss you ever so lightly.....
and tell you that
i'm ready.
