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.
