Sunlight

I sat across from you

When I sat across from you
It felt like home
We talked for hours
And I just sat there on my phone

I glanced around the room and nothing had caught my eye
Just as you had a week before
Or had it been months?
I don't really know, but it doesn't matter
It was just time

Time passed and time flew
It crawled, then walked, then ran
Like the aging of an infant

It went quickly and overcame everything
we had already tried to begin

When I sat across from you
I felt alone
It didn't make sense but it was true
The person that I sat across from many years ago
Must not have been you

You seemed to be somebody else
Although you were the same shape
The same hair, the same eyes
The same colors and the same shades
You weren't the same person
And you aren't the same today

When I sat across from you again
It wasnt under the circumstances I'd hoped
I wanted to be happy with you and yet again that privilege had been revoked
I looked into those eyes
Not the same as they'd been before
You might've been the same person
But whoever else was left
Had been shattered on the floor
