I saw you in the store
You did not quite look the same
You changed your name
I’d known you in the past
You looked good then, but good things
Don’t always last
You’re always taking new shapes
A tree or a face
A poem I’ve read
Or a dream in my head
I saw you on the screen
In the eyes of an actress
Who did not look like me
I’ve seen you everywhere
But never getting clearer
And never in the mirror
You’re always taking new shapes
A tree or a face
A poem I’ve read
Or a dream in my head
I lost you when you were needed most
From reaching out to second hands
And holding time so close
I’ll find you at someone else’s wedding toast
You’ll look like empty coffee cups
Familiar as a ghost
I saw you in the store
And I called you by your name
You waved
