I See You Poem by Twilight Whispers

I saw you yesterday,
the blue checkers of your shirt
entwined perfectly with the
white stripes in the cool cotton
of its fabric,
woven like wicker baskets and
straw bowls.

The wind blew calmly through
your curly hair,
every single tiny curl
rolling and stretching
in the afternoon sun.

Your hands sat comfortably
in your pockets as you walked,
enjoying the cosiness and warmth;
your shoes scuffed slightly
but sauntering on faithfully.

Your smile was hardly
a smile,
but I knew that on the inside
you were grinning like
a little child…
I didn’t know why I knew this,
but I knew.

And you knew
that I knew
that you knew.

If it’s all the same to you,
I could have sat and watched
you going by until
the world stopped turning,
but you walked right on past
and from my seat on the bus
these three seconds when
the window permitted me
to see you,
it felt like
hours and hours and hours.

I saw you strolling by…you could have been
frozen in time,
locked in a secret chamber
lost in the depths of my heart…
no one would know you were there
apart from
you
and
me.
