today i kept thinking i saw you,
with your ***** blond hair and
awkward smile
your self confident stride
and sense of style
my heart jumped each time
at the mere idea of your presence,
as my body has yet to unlearn
its reaction to you
every time i see you
you never flinch or even glance my way
you walk closer
and then suddenly
it's not
you
my eyes flit down
i realise i was staring
my mouth involuntarily makes
a small disappointed 'o'
i realise i was holding my breath
but the very next second
my eyes flick back
and imagine your presence all over
again
no matter how far away you are,
miles, hours or oceans away
im still determined to find
you in every crowd
