In my Eyes.

I have only one thing to say about this and it's a question. So reader's what would you do if you went back in time and you got to meet yourself? What would you say to the "old" you?

In my eyes.

Yesterday I went back in time

It was my sixth birthday

I know I never remembered being small

I saw myself with a crowd of children

I had a look on my face

I look I knew well

Hi little guy I thought

I did not say anything

What would they think

An interloper in their midst

A tall boy, yes not a tall man

Watching children

I turned and waited on the drive way

Out on the street

Eventually other cars came

The world passed over me

As though I was invisible

Once or twice I saw the younger

Me come down the drive

His arm waving floppy as though

All the muscle was missing

Or as though he still didn’t

Know how to move his

Arms

I think I had wondered what I

Might say to him all

Those hours

Before I went back

I knew it was nearly time

The sun was going down

My dad still had black

Hair not gray, not yet

Mum was standing by the drive

Standing with other older

People now my size, but back then

Giants and yet

In my eyes they were

Somehow the same

Then I saw my younger

Body turn

He looked at me

The way that a boy looks at

A stranger

I smiled back and he continued

To look

My dad took his hand

And he turned

There was no laughter in his eyes

And then I wondered

As I came back

I wondered what did he see

What had he seen

In my eyes.
