I saw you briefly yesterday
Just a fleeting glimpse
And yet it all came rushing back...
Everything became more than a memory
It was more than the past
I felt everything so clearly
I saw myself light up at the sight of you
I heard my voice sound giddy
Just the simple act of seeing you
Changed my mood that day
For the moment, I lost track of everything that had changed
I was with you again
I saw you has I had in the past
My reaction was as if things had never gone wrong
And my happiness astounding me
I thought of rushing towards you
To wrap myself in a hug long since gone
And as I moved, I realized the truth
The moment had occurred so quickly that I had fooled myself
You were not mine
As you have not been mine for a long time yet
You didn't even notice me standing there
My face filled with such longing that it could not be contained
You didn't even notice me...
But I saw you yesterday.
