Heavy in the bank that day
Station in full flood
Snow on the roads
Wet above my head

Took my cap off
Always in the way
I thought it was dashing
Those thoughts have run away

Looking like a road
After the grittier has passed
Eyes on overload
Dust
Raining past

Always remembered the jeweller's wire like your vest
In those early days
Rush hour would be no rest
No you go back
I was the little one
Just to provide the jog
And job for reasons some

Yes I don’t forget you
Nor what you sought to do
And yes into my life
You brought strife anew
But without you growth was stinted
With you ideas grew
And in your own sweet way

I write, just because of you

The Yin and Yang of life!

I think this could be deemed
a "dark lightly..."

bittersweet, surely...
