Everywhere I see you everywhere. Around every corner, Up every stair You are there. I catch a glimpse Of your hand, your hips, a swaying skirt, Or a leg, a shoe that belongs to you. Only to have it snatched from sight. Was it her? Was I right? A familiar gest spotted in a milling crowd A split second recognition of something I know So unique it can only be you. Is my mind going round in circles? A scratched record of a fleeting second Recalling a moment And playing it over and over again in my head For my eyes to dream of and see. The next time we meet I’ll ask- Was it you? But then again, perhaps I won’t There is no need to. (Gerry Aldridge)
