Outside My Window

This is for you! You know who you are!

There are days when I just stop

what I'm doing and

stare out the window.

Searching for you along

that busy street.

Hoping that it'll be you

who'll walk up next.

With your bouncy stride

and your happy gait.

But I'm not

counting on it much.

Not as much as 

I want to- I guess.

Sometimes I feel joy

seeing a part of yourself

with other people who walk by.

Some have your hair,

your eyes, your favorite 

shirt- but not the totality of you.

I continue staring and dreaming.

I close my eyes 

and remember what's

about you that I fell in love with.

And not for long

they are all so real- you are so real!

Then, I decided to continue

what I'm doing before I stared

out the window- thinking of you.

After a while I know

I'll look for you again

among the faces of the people

who walk by outside my window.
