I missed you last week when you told me your name
But then walked away without leaving a mark.
This world is too big to recall every face
Since more anchors are needed to slow wand’ring barks.
I danced in the rain and I hoped you would see
When I rolled down that hill just to seem more alive.
But you turned away quickly, did not value me
I suppose such is fair since all memory denies.
Yet there’s something to say for a world where two lives
Can cross once, and have the chance to meet again
We’re lucky for this: every once in a while
A bad first impression, reviewed, turns a friend.
So forgive me if I missed your name in the crush,
And next time let’s talk a while, not in a rush.
