Thought He Was You
Out of the blue,
Split second of time.
Thought he was you.
Must've lost my mind.
A sudden shutter.
I was tounge-tied.
Frozen in my tracks.
A deer caught in the headlights.
What would I have said?
I can't answer this.
Felt so much emotion.
In a short amount of time.
I was going about my day.
He came walking my way.
He looked something like you.
wearing sandals like you do.
He had the same build.
He had the same color skin.
His hair was cut short.
A goatee graced his chin.
Thought he was you.
All at once,
all my color ran through.
I felt so lifeless.
I was in shock.
What would've I done?
If in fact it was you.
He dressed in the same manor.
T-shirt and shorts with sandals.
He kinda walked like you.
My fright must've shown right through.
He looked at me oddly.
Like he's never scared anybody.
I put my headphones back on,
I just kept walking.
All at once,
A floodgate of your memories came rushing.
I thought I was through.
I can't forget you.
I thought I was strong.
Maybe I was wrong.
I thought it was over.
Everyone sees through my cover.
I can't keep on doing this.
It's too much stress.
I still see you.
Sitting on that park bench.
Were once you waited.
When you picked me up.
What was I thinking back then?
What am I thinking right now?
Thought he was you.
I turned yellow from blue.
For a moment I was afraid.
My reactions were delayed.
Time seemed to stop.
My soul was rocked.
My heartbeat quickened a bit.
The pilot light flickered but wasn't lit.
What if he was you?
What would've I done?
What would you do?
Should I have used my "Sailors Tounge"?
Should I have pretended you were a stranger?
Should I have been momentarily sprung?
Should I have welcomed this danger?
The truth is,
I'm no longer his.
If this is the case,
Why do I still go through this?
Just when I think I'm cured.
By a memory I'm lured.
Drawn back into a world once true.
Second-glancing every guy I see,
Mistaking their identity.
Because I thought he was you.
