You in Me

I see you in the stories

In the words on the pages

I see you just like me

Other places through the ages

I see you as my tears

As they flow across different faces

I see you in the laughter

Through the jokes as it all changes

I see you through sad eyes

Remembering my heart and how it races

I see you from disappointment

The empty words carrying thoughts baseless

I see you in some distant place

Though I keep going through all the phases

And I see you drift from my scattered dreams

While we are headed in different places

I see you in that little wish tucked away behind my heart-

Unable to erase it
