Someone on the street

When you catch someone's eye on the street and wonder who they are

I catch your eye

On the street

Holding your head high

Happy despite the heat

As you walk by

Wouldn’t it be sweet,

 

To know who you are

Your eyes so full of light

That they twinkle like stars

Is your preferred hand left or right?

How did you get that scar?

Are you afraid of heights?

Do you play guitar?

 

Everyone here has a life

A backstory I don’t know

Would I get on with their wife?

Does he like to play in the snow?

Is she carrying a knife?

How much of their stuff is borrowed?

 

But you caught me

Enraptured in a glance

Made me feel free

Made me want to dance

Made everything feel feathery

Left me in a trance

 

But you’ve gone

So goodbye

Time for me to move on

From the person who caught my eye

On the street, swaning

Past me, this July
