I, ME AND MYSELF

Those knuckles, On that steering wheel, In that car, Across the street, Touched my cheek, Ran over my skin, Once! Watching them through the windows His there, mine here, And time slowed into this moment, I could flash back so easily, Into yesterdays of us. But common sense comes to the rescue, And says “Press your panic button, Tell those memories ‘No! ’” So the traffic in my head goes crazy While the street’s green light says go Those knuckles, With images inside – outside – my head, Slide past, As I move on my lane here, Without glancing there, Where they flex, Once, [“I swear! ”] And this car’s drawing closer to home But I’m thinking of that detour I’ll have to make to get a drink Or whatever it’ll take To feel desirably numb It seems until these random moments, Of relative distance between us, Become nothing more than what they are, I will dread these sadistic memory-stirring coincidences, And try my best to … not look out for his car.

now’s the time to say goodbye now’s not ours to question why we have shared those special smiles we have walked together more than just one little mile and we will remember then no one takes what memories make no one breaks for break up’s sake no one wants to hurt a heart no one needs to be wandering for all eternity just because things keep moving on no one has to be wandering for all eternity just because things keep moving on sometimes you must take a stand sometimes others won’t understand sometimes you just can’t sit still not because you don’t know the best direction you should go just because things keep moving on so long, my friend!!!

There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been Will ever be as one What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fight with me and teach me that Friends Never Say GoodBye !!!
