Seeing Him AgainI've seen him again.Seeing Him Again
Although it's not like I Imagine it would be.
He is different.

It all started the day I thought I saw him.
I really thought he was there.
But it wasnt h

The memory is still raw Of the night he was fired.
I was sitting on the couch,
Just doing my homework.
Mom answered her phone When it rang.
It was one of the other moms,
Calling to say he was fired.
I burst into tears,
So very devastated.
My swimming life, as I'd known it,
Was over.
After Mom hung up with her friend, Elizabeth called.
I was still sobbing.
Mom told Elizabeth What had happened.
She told her about me.
Elizabeth said to calm down.
That something good
