you were always with me
in the back of my mind.
your smile, your hair,
the way it perfectly matches your eyes.
you were there when i was shopping,
when i saw that one sweatshirt.
it took me only one glance to buy it
because i knew you would like it.
you were there when i was sad,
invisible, but close to me,
like I could just reach out,
and you'd be there next to me.
you were there when i was with him,
in the way he said my name.
it never sounded right,
it didn't sound the same
as the way that you say it,
like I'm special and significant,
like if you were given the chance,
you would love me like you mean it.
but you're really only here
in my mind when I'm alone,
and when I'm with you,
my fantasy I cannot fully condone.
because you have always been here,
walking around in my mind,
and i hope one day you'll walk out of it,
and finally be mine.
