He is, She is

poem

when we met

you spilled coffee close to my neck

ruined my white shirt but it's okay

i'm glad i met you that day

you were already late

so you decided to come and stay

when we left i hoped that fate would bring us together one day

you didn't know who

who he was and that i was dating him

little did i know we wouldn't last and that you'd be so important to me

that i wanted us to be a we

the day that started with no we

we didn't see each other til that night after i was forced to put on a smile and dance just right

we kissed and i thought maybe it's right

but i ran away and then got into a fight

i was just trying to ignore the pain

you saw right through me like a glass pane

comforting me like you shouldn't have

was something that was important

not something as useless as buying me a potted plant

we got together and shared a midnight kiss

spent almost two years in complete bliss

pressure downed on me like it was raining too hard to breathe

didn't know what i was saying when you talked to me

you couldn't stand it so you up and left

the day that left me a mess

one day we met again after i'd tried to move on

tried to ignore the pain of seeing you once again

but you said hi how are you

i said i'm doing just fine how about you?

catching up over coffee in the same place almost the same time we met

was like we'd never been apart all these years away turned into regret

now we're sittin right here

watchin our kids run by the fire

on a cold new york night

oh everything's just right
