When Lucy spoke

I am no Lucy

But if I were

I would wait for you in my cottage

I would stand by my window

staring out,

till you came.

I would send clouds towards you

to tell you of me.

I would know that

I love you

even though I had not opened my eyes.

Lucy has always loved you

much before you realised.

I am no Lucy

but if I were

I know I would have no other

You would teach me

more than I would ever know.

You would tell me of my existence

and speak aloud my name

 I would not know passion

only know to wait.

 And I will

till you longer doubt

what would have been.

What is there is there

has been there for years.

Before you; before me; before all.

I am Lucy

and I am right here.
