Once Before

I saw you once before
In another lifetime
But I'm really not sure

I saw you once before
I didn't think we'd meet again
And now I don't know what we're here for

I saw you once before
A face in the crowd, leaving no impression
Now you're the one that I adore

I saw you once before
A lonesome figure under the streetlight
But that was back in 1944

Hmmmmmm I thought the poem was nice. The ending kinda confused me.......anyway I liked it.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Do you believe in past lives?
It is an interesting concept! I must admit that....
Interesting poem!

that would make you a lot older than us if you did live in 1944
but i really liked the whole topic

i love the ending.  I never thought you'd put it all the way back to 1944.  Great write, keep sharing

Okay, this poem was very interesting and different from what I usually see in here.
In a very good way.
It was almost suspenseful for me, I'm not sure why.  Going back to 1944... I'm really not sure what the signifigance of this is.  Could be a past life you mean, could be a metaphorical or non-literal sense, or you could be a bit old for a Teen forum.
Either way, excellent poem.  One for the library.
