i don't know you but i
somehow
feel close to you
recognize things in your name
which remind me
of elementary school
riddles
i don't know you but i feel you
when i look at your photograph
its as though we've had conversations
about suicide and other life-altering mishaps
in the past
i don't know you, but i
like you
and find myself caring without
even thinking
i don't know you
but i would like to
watch you tie your shoes while
taking sips of coffee
just before we set out
onto that
long path
