He Has a Twin Contest

I went away for three full weeks Down the cost and up some peaks On a beach I rested for a while When one night I met a beautiful smile He looked at me with big blue eyes HIs presence seemed to mesmerize, As he spoke my heart grew fond, In a second we had a bond, He liked me similar or just the same, Then confided in me about his shame, Hours past and our conversation grew, He asked me how it was possible that I knew All the advice I did give Was because in NY I had a long lost friend where i lived He was Very similar and had that same smile, Blue eyes of the ocean And a wild style, The only difference was this one had a cowboy hat, And the one back home had a few tats, What a crazy special day, When a doppelganger came walking my way, Instantly we were drawn to each other, He was like my long lost brother, I may have not been able to help the one from my past, But that night this man did simply grasp, All of my advice came from the first guy Back in New York the one that made me cry, Do you believe you can have closure? By meeting another that has the same composure Do you suppose I got a sign? That somewhere that man was doing fine We stayed up very late, I was blessed that he was my fate, For long ago I had met a dear friend That’s life story made him want to come to an end, And now I was exposed to the exact same fight, But I know for sure this one turns out right Now I know we all have a twin Someone who is like us from within Someone who looks the same way Someone who sounds like us when we pray.
