Quite Like You

August 7, 2015

I've never met someone quite like you

My smiles make you cry

And your frowns make you think that everything is right

You tell me that you don't want to be just another face

Or name

Yet you only sit there and dream

I've never met someone quite like you

You told your mother you hate her

Dreamed of the dad that left you as a child

You want him not her

Always chasing away those who love you

Then complain about being ignored

I've never met someone quite like you

Your grandma died and you didn't seem at all phased

Didn't even go to the funeral

You spent the day with friends trying to forget

whined about not getting any inheritance

I've never met someone quite like you

You went to the store

You met a girl there

She was angry at the world

Turning over displays

You took her to dinner

there she told you

That she had lost her family

Friends

Husband, all because of an attitude she couldn't shake

When she got up and walked away

You never saw her again for the mirror had shattered

You've been surprised in the worst way

You've never met someone quite like you

The great thing about life is

There is always more chances

New friends around the corner

And a sunrise for you to watch on a new morning

You cleaned up your act

You've found what makes you feel special

You are special

And to be quite honest

I've never met someone quite like you
