Just like a wisp of smoke
Swirling in the air
I am here, there
And everywhere
We were introduced
But never met
We were both blind
And deaf
You didn’t stay
For very long
Maybe my memory
Is wrong
I was almost known
But not quite
Your sense of me
Was just not right
You tried to touch me
Again and again
I tried to let you
Now and then
I’m a memory of
Someone, somewhere
Who used to be
Just over there
Behind the wall
That never fell
The other three
Made up a cell
We thought we knew
Each other too
You, me
And me, you
But we were not two
We were more
We were not two
We were four, or more
I looked for you
In your limbs
And underneath
Your silky skin
You looked for me
In my heart
And in the mind
You took apart
We never found
Someone there
All we found
Is smoky air
