Sometimes I think

you're here

standing in my doorway

but I know

that’s not true.

Then I turn and see you

Walking down the sidewalk

but I know that’s not you.

Once I thought I heard you

calling me

and I knew that was a dream.

One day I finally decided

to take my eraser

and take you out of my notebook

but I realized I used pen

so I left it

and walked away.
