I only see him once a year
This day.
And he askes me why
Why not any other day?
"Because it's Halloween,
Silly".
He laughs and we fall
For each other.
But the next day, we pick
Up the pieces of our self
And live life like complete
Strangers.
But this year was different
He pulled me onto the floor
And got me to dance.
It was loud but it felt so
In-place
We pretended it was new years
And kissed at 12.
Then took a long walk and watched
the leaves fall like snow falls
On Christmas eve.
It was all so perfect.
Well almost.
Until he asked me my name.
"Laura," I said.
I lied and he didn't realize
He told me how beautiful it was
And how he'd call me tomorrow.
But I was afraid.
Because it was Halloween.
It was the only time of the year
I didn't have to feel guilty to
Be someone else.
