Someone sent a picture of me
Smiling. As I used to be
Natural in a natural light
Looking out from black and white
I sat and stared into the past
I tried to understand at last
One life cut in two by time
Was it his life? Was it mine?
I tried to whisper in his ear
He would not listen, would not hear
I tried to light the path ahead
He would not see, would not be led
I thought I knew the boy I saw
But I don’t think so any more
A memory from way back when
I didn’t even know him then
Wonderful. Really great flow and a sense of regret, I think at the end there. Congrats!
