Jose Ramón Soto

I thought I saw you yesterday,


but I didn't stop,
Because you were walking the opposite way
I guess I could have shouted out your name
But even if it was you,
I don't know what I would say
We could sit and remember all about the old school.
Maybe share a cigarette Because we're both fools.
Some small talk, and compare perspective,
Life, love, stress, and setbacks
You could tell me how hard you had it
And you can show me all the scars to back it
And we can analyze each complaint
Break it down and explain the mistakes I made.
I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry.
You knew me back when I was a younger me.
You've seen me in all types of light
And I have been meaning to ask you if I'm doing alright.
Yesterday, was that you?
I swear it looked just like you.
Strange things my imagination might do.
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through.
Or am I just going crazy because I miss you.
I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I should have pulled.
I would take it all back if I could,
I put that on my soul
And I swear I would make a good listener.
And keep the block off a little time to give it here.
Since we went our separate ways,
I've hit a couple of snags that remind me of the past.
I want to stop but I'm having a blast,
And I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last
Sitting here, wishing we could kick it.
You giving me your opinions, I really miss the criticisms.
I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit
I still wait up and keep the coffee brewing in the kitchen,
But who am I joking with.
There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it.
But it doesn't matter, this is more than love,
And maybe if I'm lucky, I´ll get to see you out the corner of Yesterday.
Was that you?
It looked just like you.
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you.
And when you left, I didn't see it coming.
I guess I slept, it wasn´t like you were running.
You went out the front door slow,
And I was so self absorbed, I didn't even know.
By the time I looked up, you were gone.
Then I guess you Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff.
A whole house full of dreams and steps,
I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept.
You disappeared but our history is still here.
That's why I try not to cry over spilled beer.
I can't even get mad that you are gone.
Leaving me was probably the best thing you ever taught me.
I'm sorry,
It's official.
I was a fist full
I didn't keep it simple.
Chip on the shoulder, with anger in my veins.
Had so much hatred, now it brings me shame.
Never thought about the world without you,
And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you.
I thought I saw you yesterday
But I know it wasn't you.
