I saw you yesterday
For the first time since that night
I’d been looking for you
But trying not to look like I was
Our eyes met through an entryway
As the door was swinging shut
And mine might have played tricks on me
But I thought I glimpsed a sad smile
I was only ever honest
And lost you honestly
I wonder how exactly you’ll remember me
In a moment you were there
And I held you in my arms
But only for a breath
Then we stepped back across
The barricade of space between
Who we were and who we are
We spoke in careful sentences
Built a verbal house of cards
And the way that we’re standing
Makes it clear just where things stand
So I swallowed any words I might have said
And as you walked away
I watched your back retreating
And it seemed as if the lights
Along the hallway as you passed
Retreated one by one along with you
