Every day I see her
wandering the streets
and I wonder "who are you"
Somedays I make up stories about her
some so absurd they make me smile
some so sad they make me cry
I've never seen anyone with her
I've never seen anyone even speak to her
She's just there
right on the edge of your memory
nagging you to see
to see her
to make her real.
One day I followed her footsteps
and oh the adventures we went on.
Up and down the hills
under the trees
shivering in the cold November wind
dreaming of a hot sandy beach
with a warm Jamaican breeze
teasing our face.
A dream? A memory?
I don't even know where the thought came from
Was it hers...or mine?
Did it matter?
I touched her arm
and she turned to face me.
What she asked in a soft voice
What indeed.
I watched her walk away
seeing her footsteps
washed away by the oceans kiss
dreaming.
