I Hope It Happens Again (Poem)

I know I probably didn't mean a lot to you

I know you've probably forgotten me by now

I know your life is probably fine

And mine pretty much is too.

On nights like tonight

When I'm by myself and it's raining outside

I think of you and our time together.

I know it's odd, 'cause it wasn't very long

I know it's strange I still think of you;

You weren't mine then and you never were

I still think of your kindness to me

You bought me dinner and laughed at my French

We shared our drawings; We walked together

It just doesn't make sense that I still think of you sometimes.

I've seen you since that day, talked a little even

I didn't think you would remember who I was or seek me out

I was just a random person you had met

But we did talk of things that people who just met sometimes don't talk about

It's just words, but it wasn't to me

I wondered why you told me some of these things.

I may never see you again

Would I even know you if I did?

It seems so long ago

And maybe it was

But I still remember your face sometimes, but then it's not there

It's better to remember it for the serendipitous event it was

And just hope it happens with someone else again.
