That Day

That day, I saw you
Arriving in a van as big as a house
Full to the brim with toys and boxes
A bag of surprises
That day, I saw you
Dancing, carefree, on your lawn
Hair, flowing out behind you
Like sunshine
That day, I saw you
And you told me your name
And why you didn't go to my school
Voice as sweet as candy
That day, I saw you
We had grown so much, yet I still felt like a child
And it seemed a million years had passed us by
You kissed me
That day, I saw you
I saw you cry, tears like ice
Melting at the start of spring
Shaking like a lost deer
That day, I saw you
Shunned into the car like some unwanted gift
Calling out my name, through tears
No time for goodbyes
That day, I saw you
Face, as beautiful as a single white rose
Waking in the autumn morning, showered with dew
Bleeding from the shattered windscreen
That day, I saw you
Did you ever see me?
