She Moved Me

On the people we'll never see again — and the way they keep teaching us how to be.

Some people leave the room and stay in the room at the same time. This is for one of them.

You remind me
Of a girl I used to know

She had so much soul
She loved to write poems
She’d roam on her own

An inner fire
That Seduced me
And Induced me
To be a better man

To have a better plan
For this journey called life
She’s gone now
But like a movie scene:
She moved me

The most lasting love letters aren’t always to the people we end up with. Sometimes they’re to the ones who briefly rearranged the architecture and then left. She moved me. That stays.
