before you walked away

today i met someone

same name as you

been wanting to meet him for a while

wondering if he was anything at all like you

you told me your name was rare

not of where you belong

you pronounced it differently too

someone introduced it to me in the way you

wanted me to call you

it feels as if it was a dream

laughing with you

before you walked away in the midst of our silence

you still gave me what i wanted

the exactness

and somewhere parallel

we sing in that dim lit bar

was easy to be me

with you

reflective & introspective

made a good view for a while

seamless & natural

something i was told i'd never have

i had it stranger

stranger that someone else shares your name

looking at the opposite

remembering the day i left

knowing i will come back for good soon enough

seeing the train that'll take me there

take me to the life that's been waiting for me so long

will you be there i don't know

found myself intrinsically falling for the rhythm

rhythm of how you speak

rhythm beneath your lines

even speaking better in your own

i will keep missing you

forgetting that you left in a sudden on purpose

i'll smile

&'ll feel your hands around my waist

a safe place

you whispering the right pronunciation of my name

knowing you've practiced

some things i don't want to publish

& some between our addictive lines

you chose to be a silent addict

while i was

aloud

was okay for a while

until i realised you walked out

whoever you are

're now forever nothing but a sign

a letter only we know

'm singing 'n the train now

alone & eyes on the track

on my way to have everything
