Bailey

For all these years How have you been the only one who has never escaped my memories What is it about you What is the secret beyond you which draws me so very close to you Silver Winter was it my chance to forget you or keep you buried among my thoughts forever It was never like you would leave anyway Your blonde hair and increasingly haunting emerald eyes encased in the colorless hint of a shade of night from the makeup around your eyes to your fingertips What is it about your description that makes you more of a drug than an antidote for I find my mind dipping into my pen magically tracing a picture of your face mentally drawing a depiction of how your appearance would appeal to me And why, I can't find the answer And why, I still can't figure out And why, I believe I will never know Why you've chosen me to haunt Why it's you I'm so determined to see Why in my head I can whisper I love you like I've known you my entire life like you're not name picked from a twisted dream like you're not just something in my imagination like you're not someone make believe like you're not someone I don't even know Who are you Bailey Who are you Bailey please if you are real prove it to me Bailey was that clothing store in my dream our tryst or was it a setting I was never aware of or was it just a setting that's also make believe Bailey appear to me, appeal to me Bailey Who are you Bailey Why are you more of a drug to me than antidote Bailey Who are you
