I Saw You at the Fair

I saw you at the fair today

Old friend and before your even say

I know it wasn’t you,

You are a thousand miles away

But I saw you anyways.

In someone who reminded me of you

Though younger, she had your eyes and face

And they took me to a place where you were there

And so today, though only in the way of a memory

Or a projection of your features and personalities onto another

You were there, and so was I

And I saw you at the fair
