When you see someone live,

You are already in love.

You remind me of someone I used to love.

I saw you,

Wrapped in sunlight,

And the curve of your cheek,

The cut of your jaw.

I shuddered down to my bones.

And confronted you on accident.

Relief and disappointment

When you were not her.

So I brought you some wine,

And cracked a joke,

And then watched you walk back

Into the sun.
