After taste steams to skin song
How many memories cease to be true?
Mind weaves a cause to doubt
While fish swim seas full throttle

Can you hear that undulation of dreams?
It’s always called you…
The smoky breath which clings to your arm
Like I used to, driving in the car
Finger wind in our hair…
Songs we sang together, full swing

Was our love story easy to read segments?
Like a perfect way to start the day?
Or did we write on summer’s cutting edge
Simply protesting in head phones
We were so young, then, living by different rules

My mind visits a team roster, nonetheless
Attempting at times to break loose
Your right hand grabs my wrist, pulling me back
Increasing the pressure a little

The heat was oppressive that summer…remember?
You cradled my hyperglycemia with sugar
There was no one there, as we waited for daylight
You held me in your arms…warmly saying
Just remember, no matter what, I’ll always love you
Did that mean you knew you were dressing for another
Long term class?
Whispering, even now…I think of you too

Darlin, somehow, we’ve got to learn to play by the rules
If things change, and you lean a little towards my sidewalk
Perhaps we’d fit each others jackets
In real life rhythm…a drowsy lulled sense of well being
That tender choice, has always been yours
But you wanted to go to college before we joined up
And now…I’m a newcomer to the ways of the world

Gah...

take me back 35 years and dump me there...

I think I could have written this...
but not as well as you did.
