I didn't know
He reminded me so much of you
The way he talks
Smiles slowly
The hair
The face
It was so much like you.
I couldn't keep watching.
But afterwards
I realized
Everyone reminds me of you.
Sometimes
Someone says something
And it sounds like you
Sometimes a voice sounds like you
But it's never really you
Sometimes a face will give me a feeling of...
Excitement?
Fear?
But then I realize
No
It isn't you
So I go about my day
Sinking feeling in my gut
A voice in my head
And a crack in my previously healed heart.
