I Knew You Were There Poem by Melanie Weeks

You messaged me the other day.
Oh, I was so happy!
It's been almost two months.
You asked what I was up to,
I told you and asked the same.
You said you were in Clay,
Where we always used to play.
I was going into town that fine day,
And on the way, I passed by Clay.
I slowed only a little.

I knew you were there.

I didn't stop.
I had to be somewhere.
I wanted to see you.
I've missed you so much.

I knew were there.

Clay is where our church is.
Where I sat on your lap.
Where we entwined our fingers.
Where we had our first kiss.

I knew were there.

You were probably sitting behind the church,
In your favorite swing.
Sitting there thinking,
What were you thinking? !
I'm JUST another girl,
Though you've known me
For oh, so long.

I knew you were there.
And I didn't go see you.
